Track Insight / Lyrics
You walk the gangway, coffee steam
Thruster ports gleam in halogen beam
Bay fog swallows Golden Gate
You're the only one up this late
Throttle cold in calloused grip
Salt air bites your chapped lower lip
Instrument panel hums alive
You keep the dark watch, you survive
Thruster check on pier three-two
Mist hangs heavy, blinding you
San Francisco Bay don't sleep
Promises you're sworn to keep
One more sweep, one more round
Where the water meets the ground
Radar blips like short-order calls
Ghost echoes bouncing off the pier walls
You know each blip by name and speed
Just like Joe who takes his coffee black
Gauges glow in blue-green light
Pier planks groan through the foggy night
Engine cycles, slow and deep
Promises you're sworn to keep
Thruster check on pier three-two
Mist hangs heavy, blinding you
San Francisco Bay don't sleep
Promises you're sworn to keep
One more sweep, one more round
Where the water meets the ground
Deck lights flicker, sodium yellow
Timer dings like short-order bellow
Fog horn
