Lyrics
Jean wipes the Formica counter at the Spirit Lake Diner
A crack in the coffee pot handle, getting finer
The neon sign hums a low, electric hymn
She's just tracing the rim.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the ground gives a little shudder she ignores
Just a logging truck changing gears outdoors

[Chorus]
It's just another Saturday, calm and slow
Static on the AM radio
One more sunset on the caldera below.
[Outro]
The hum of the neon sign...
...goes low.
