Track Insight / Lyrics
Grill smoke curls at three a.m.
Coffee black in chipped mug rim
Regulars don't ask no more
They know the order by the door
Steam rises from the griddle plate
Subway rumble shakes the grate
Pages turn in locked up shops
Cat wakes up when rhythm drops
Hear the subway cat hum low
Where the midnight trains don't go
Paws on concrete, whiskers tight
Singing through the urban night
Pages sleep in cardboard rows
Cat knows where the silence goes
Fuzz guitar hums through the wall
Floor tom answers roll call
Steam rises from the griddle plate
Subway rumble shakes the grate
Pages turn in locked up shops
Cat wakes up when rhythm drops
Hear the subway cat hum low
Where the midnight trains don't go
Paws on concrete, whiskers tight
Singing through the urban night
Bacon pops in cast iron pan
Night shift ends as day began
Wipe the counter, lock the door
Hear that purring on the floor
Two voices in the tunnel deep
One serves eggs, one guards the sleep
Overdriven chords begin to rise
Prairie reverb, open skies
Hear the subway cat hum low
Where the midnight trains don't go
Paws on concrete, whiskers tight
Singing through the urban night
Tail flicks rhythm on the track
No customers, no turning back
Jazzmaster screams, the bass drones low
Midnight wanderlust in tow
Hear the subway cat hum low
Where the midnight trains don't go
Paws on concrete, whiskers tight
Singing through the urban night
Subway cat sings on and on
Purr fades with the morning train
Grill goes cold, the cat still sings
