Grease trap sings its metal song
Coffee burns the whole night long
Pilot checks his panel bright
Attic window drinks the light
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Stories that the regulars told
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Morning breaks the midnight cold
Wurlitzer hums beneath the grill
Regular Joe pays his bill
Thrusters pulse in steady time
Attic catches morning rhyme
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Stories that the regulars told
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Morning breaks the midnight cold
Hofner bass walks slow and deep
Short order dreams the cook don't keep
Pilot watches gauges climb
Attic drinks the waking time
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Stories that the regulars told
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Morning breaks the midnight cold
Steam rises from the coffee pot
Places that exist or not
Clean guitar cuts through the air
Wistful fingers everywhere
Plate reverb on the counter top
Short jokes stop the nonstop talk
Pilot waves through glass so thin
Attic lets the morning in
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Stories that the regulars told
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Morning breaks the midnight cold
Thruster dawn paints dust gold
Places that no longer hold
Blue light fades on Tuesday plates
Thruster dawn decides our fates
