Track Insight / Lyrics
Night shift grill sings bacon hymn
Flux pen traces cathedral vein
Egg orders shouted, short and grim
Lead came bends for Notre Dame
We hold the line where colors break
Grease and glass both catch the dawn
One hand flips, one hand will make
Heavy metal, fragilerawn
Regulars claim their usual stools
Tourists point at rose window glow
Short-order wit breaks kitchen rules
Copper foil wraps what we know
We hold the line where colors break
Grease and glass both catch the dawn
One hand flips, one hand will make
Heavy metal, fragilerawn
Coffee refill, on the house today
Kiln cools slow on Rue du Bac
Hash browns crisp in cast-iron way
Blue glass holds the morning black
We hold the line where colors break
Grease and glass both catch the dawn
One hand flips, one hand will make
Heavy metal, fragilerawn
Tinning iron, seasoned pan
Both need heat to seal the seam
Paris wakes to garbage van
We build the light, we cook the dream
Shift ends when the spire glints gold
Apron hangs on peg by door
Stained glass stories, grease-smeared, told
Lead light lives on terrace floor
We hold the line where colors break
Grease and glass both catch the dawn
One hand flips, one hand will make
Heavy metal, fragilerawn
Lead light lingers, long and drawn
Mug rinsed clean, solder cooled down
Terrace holds the breaking crown
