Lyrics
You trace the Penobscot's lines on a wet Stroh's label.
Say, "Top floor service door. I got a guy named Abel."
The air is August-thick, smells of ozone, beer, and wiring.
Wednesday, after five, the whole damn grid feels like it's tiring.
But you just lean in closer, with a voice like a low-gear hum.
[Chorus]
We'll have a high-tension grin, a lunchtime alibi.
A perfect little system failure, you and I.
Tomorrow, noon, we'll synchronize the climb.
[Verse 2]
I say, "The plan's too delicate, the tolerance is tight."
You laugh and say, "Frank, don't you ever just gamble on the light?"

And I see that same clean calibration in the trouble that you bring.
The jukebox plays a slow one, a needle worn to gloss.
[Bridge]
(Vocal over percussion and finger snaps only)
Twelve-oh-one: the freight elevator.
Twelve-oh-five: the broken generator.
Twelve sharp: your nod across the floor.
One last tick… before.
[Outro]
Yeah, we'll have a high-tension grin tomorrow afternoon.
Nothing in the world could ever move too soon.

These are torch songs from a man…
