Lyrics
(A cappella)
He watches the sugar dissolve,
(Music enters)
...a slow spiral down in her lukewarm tea.
The 8:42 freight train rattles the spoons at Miner-Dunn.
She nods just once, the battle is over, he's won.
[Chorus]
And this is the prize.
This is the part where he gets to be right.
A slow, quiet drive
under the sodium-vapor light.
[Verse 2]
The words he practiced are ash in his mouth, unspent.

And this is the prize.
This is the part where he gets to be right.
A slow, quiet drive
under the sodium-vapor light.
[Bridge]
She pushes her chair back, the legs scrape the floor.
Says, "Call me tomorrow, Bill. Don't use the front door."
And the whole damn structure just starts to give.
[Outro]
The foreman's prize.
Under the light.
