Static at the Pump

[Intro]
[Verse]
Ice hits the plastic roof
I don’t need any proof
Two AM under the light
Everything is black and white
The Jaguar guitar stabs thin
Let the cold air in
Stiff shoulders in the breeze
I’m doing as I please
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re standing by the bin
Wearing that same old grin
Three years since the text
Wondering what comes next
No drama in the air
Just a vacant stare
[Chorus]
Slush on the neon sign
Wait for the morning line
Fuel price is looking high
Under a heavy sky
No need to make a scene
Keep the ledger clean
It’s a hollow kind of cold
Stories already told
[Post-Chorus]
Nothing left to say
In this shade of grey
Nothing left to feel
Spinning like a wheel
[Verse]
You ask about my job
I give a little nod
The 606 is kicking hard
Standing in this empty yard
You say the weather’s bleak
I haven't slept a week
Your coat is looking worn
Since the day the tie was torn
[Pre-Chorus]
Conversation like a chore
Staring at the sliding door
The melodica starts to bleed
Everything we didn't need
Small talk in the rain
No pleasure and no pain
[Chorus]
Slush on the neon sign
Wait for the morning line
Fuel price is looking high
Under a heavy sky
No need to make a scene
Keep the ledger clean
It’s a hollow kind of cold
Stories already told
[Bridge]
Ghosting was a quiet art
Tearing all the plans apart
Now we’re here at pump four
Can’t remember what for
Old grudges feel so small
Nothing left to recall
Just the hum of the Moog
In this lonely fug
[Solo]
[Verse]
The hail begins to fade
Best mistake I ever made
You buy a pack of gum
Feeling cold and feeling numb
Motorik beat goes on
Till the night is gone
You turn to walk away
Nothing left to stay
[Chorus]
Slush on the neon sign
Wait for the morning line
Fuel price is looking high
Under a heavy sky
No need to make a scene
Keep the ledger clean
It’s a hollow kind of cold
Stories already told
[Post-Chorus]
Nothing left to say
In this shade of grey
Nothing left to feel
Spinning like a wheel
[Outro]
