Lyrics
The cassette adapter for that Toyota Sprinter
Smelled like ozone and cheap wintergreen.
August of '07, a gear-grinding splinter
Stuck somewhere my memory and me.
Puget Sound felt a million knots behind me.
[Chorus]
And I screamed your words into the dashboard light,
Just a ghost in a box doing ninety at night.
It was only noise, it was Yokohama static,
But for a minute there, it almost felt like magic.
[Verse 2]
The salt on the air was a different flavor,
Tasted like leaving, not coming home.
"Just have it back by four," the man said, a waiver
Signed in engine fumes and monochrome.
I was trying to outrun the propeller's drone.
[Chorus]
And I screamed your words into the dashboard light,
Just a ghost in a box doing ninety at night.
It was only noise, it was Yokohama static,
But for a minute there, it almost felt like magic.
[Bridge]
It didn't fix a thing, no, the pressure gauge stayed bent.
But the corrosion on my throat felt like a sacrament.
Just one lungful of sound that was all mine.
[Chorus]
(Key change)
And I scream your words into the dashboard light,
Just a ghost in a box doing ninety at night.
It's only noise, it's Yokohama static,
But for a minute still, it almost feels like magic.
[Outro]
Yeah, the salt still eats the wire.
The static never tires.

A Filipino-American from the naval town of Bremerton, WA, he wrote his first songs on a cheap guitar in a tiny cabin to combat the crushing loneliness of the open sea. Now 38 and back on land, his brand of Seattle grunge is soaked in saltwater and stained with engine grease…
