Lyrics
The cash-only sign at the Orcas Pub
Is taped over a hole from a thrown beer mug
We trace the decades in the water rings
And the low tide smells what the evening brings

His face was a screen-saver, somehow
[Chorus]
But we're not the lower third on the evening news
We're the fine print for the life we refuse to lose
[Outro]
We feel the salt air on our sunburnt skin
We take a breath to let the story begin—
