Track Insight / Lyrics
Snow packs heavy on stone lions' heads
Taxi idles where the pilgrim treads
Radio cracks with mountain weather news
Ancient bells don't ring the way they used to
Tire chains sing on ice-slick stone
Meter runs but fare's unknown
Incense smoke climbs through broken heat
Prayer wheels turn on frozen street
Stone temple sleeps beneath the snow
Taxi watches, engine low
Driver prays with hands on wheel
Mountain gods don't make a deal
Stone temple sleeps beneath the snow
We keep watch where warm winds blow
Snow falls harder, meter climbs
Temple stones hold ancient rhymes
Engine pulses, sub-bass deep
Watch the watch that drivers keep
Snow falls harder, meter climbs
Temple stones hold ancient rhymes
Deep stone taxi prayer
Mountain snow, we're still there
Vocal chops rise through frozen air
Frozen breath on cracked windshield glass
Another fare, another pass
Stone lions guard the temple gate
Driver checks the hour late
Frozen breath on cracked windshield glass
Mountain snow decides our fate
Stone temple sleeps beneath the snow
Taxi watches, engine low
Driver prays with hands on wheel
Mountain gods don't make a deal
Stone temple sleeps beneath the snow
We keep watch where warm winds blow
Radio static speaks in tongues
Old proverbs from drivers' lungs
Snow covers all but stone remains
Meter ticks through frozen veins
Radio static speaks in tongues
Old proverbs from drivers' lungs
No passenger tonight, just stone
Driver sits and waits alone
But alone is not the word we use
When temple bells cut through the blues
No passenger tonight, just stone
Driver sits and waits alone
Deep stone taxi prayer
Mountain snow, we're still there
Vocal chops rise through frozen air
Dawn breaks pale on temple roof
Meter stops, the engine's proof
One more night the watch complete
Stone and taxi, cold and sweet
Dawn breaks pale on temple roof
Snow melts slow on driver's seat
Stone temple sleeps beneath the snow
Taxi watches, engine low
Driver prays with hands on wheel
Mountain gods don't make a deal
Stone temple sleeps beneath the snow
We keep watch where warm winds blow
Stone temple sleeps beneath the snow
Taxi watches, engine low
Engine cools on sacred ground
Meter silent, snow without sound
