5 pm on 5th avenue
Red lights bleed into the wet asphalt
Espresso machine spits steam hiss
The barista calls out a name nobody answers
Green numbers flash red on the corner screen
Dow jones sliding down the glass
Anchor man speaking in double time
Sweat on his upper lip catching the studio light
Eight and a half hours away
Coffee in the paper cup kerosene in the air
One side checking watches one side saying a prayer
Neon signs buzzing bzz tracer rounds in the dark
Same spinning globe just a different spark
1 30 am across the gulf
Radar sweeps leaving a green trail
Sirens cut through the cold wind woo-woo
Vibrations rattling the window frames
Crude oil barrels stacking up the price
While a yellow cab honks at a pedestrian beep
Suits loosening ties in the subway car
Shadows running down the concrete stairs
Eight and a half hours away
Coffee in the paper cup kerosene in the air
One side checking watches one side saying a prayer
Neon signs buzzing bzz tracer rounds in the dark
Same spinning globe just a different spark
The anchor takes a breath
