歌词
[Intro] [Verse] The amber streetlights glow Moving steady and slow We watch the traffic flow With nowhere left to go Dusty vinyl on the deck Check the schedule, check the spec I’ve got the world around my neck Searching for a tiny fleck Of hope in the neon rain Numbing out the subtle pain Riding on a ghost train Through a silent terrain [Pre-Chorus] The coffee’s black as the asphalt Nobody’s hero, nobody’s fault Keeping the city in a vault Passing the pepper and the salt [Chorus] We are the pulse in the dark The invisible spark Leaving a quiet mark In the urban park Uncelebrated and true Doing what we have to do For the many, by the few Starting the world anew [Verse] Back in the college days Lost in a caffeine haze Navigating the maze Of the minimum wage Textbooks open by the grill Trying to find the will To climb that academic hill While the world stood still I learned more from the dish pit Than any lecture or skit How to stay lit When the shadows won’t quit [Chorus] We are the pulse in the dark The invisible spark Leaving a quiet mark In the urban park Uncelebrated and true Doing what we have to do For the many, by the few Starting the world anew [Bridge] It’s the nod across the aisle The weary, honest smile Walking the extra mile In a humble style Small kindnesses hold the weight Of a city’s heavy fate Opening the iron gate Before it gets too late [Verse] The CEO is fast asleep In a tower tall and steep While the promises we keep Are buried far and deep Labor is the spine Of every grand design Drawing a thin line Between yours and mine Respect the hands that serve The courage and the nerve To stay on the curve And never once swerve [Chorus] We are the pulse in the dark The invisible spark Leaving a quiet mark In the urban park Uncelebrated and true Doing what we have to do For the many, by the few Starting the world anew [Post-Chorus] Quiet grace In a forgotten place A smile on a tired face Running the graveyard race Midnight pivot How we live it How we give it Just forgive it [Outro]
