Track Insight / Lyrics
You stand by the iron gate
Counting coins and tempting fate
Steel cables hum in the wind
Where the city limits end
Pay the toll for the midnight ride
Leave the heavy world outside
Gold and silver, velvet black
Once you cross you won't go back
You follow a hidden stair
Down to smoke and jazz club air
Brass horns scream in a basement room
While the Moog begins to bloom
Pay the toll for the midnight ride
Leave the heavy world outside
Gold and silver, velvet black
Once you cross you won't go back
Satin dresses, gin and ice
Pay the heavy hidden price
Your blue uniform feels tight
In the pulsing electric light
Pay the toll for the midnight ride
Leave the heavy world outside
Gold and silver, velvet black
Once you cross you won't go back
Forget the bridge and the grey
Chase the ghosts of a better day
The rolling bass pulls you deep
While the tired commuters sleep
Pay the toll for the midnight ride
Leave the heavy world outside
Gold and silver, velvet black
Once you cross you won't go back
Just let it roll.
Pay the toll.
The toll for the night.
