Cable Car, Hanging Over the Lights
by Moth Static
“We tried to make the guitars feel like a cabin swaying above a city. It took far too many takes of the same chord.”

Lyrics
The last cabin leaves the station Humming on its line The city turns to little lanterns Underneath my feet Nobody else is riding Just the wind and me Swinging soft above the rooftops Where the night is sweet Wire and sky, wire and sky Nothing here to hurry by Hang a little while with me Over all the lights Rock me slow, cable car Through the quiet night Every window down below Glows a gentle gold Hang a little while with me You don't have to hold A river runs in silver ribbons Far beneath the glass The moon sits in the cabin with me Watching clouds go past I rest my head against the window Breathing circles on the pane The humming of the cable Sings my worries into rain Wire and sky, wire and sky Nothing here to hurry by Hang a little while with me Over all the lights Rock me slow, cable car Through the quiet night Every window down below Glows a gentle gold Hang a little while with me You don't have to hold Halfway up and halfway home Not too high and not alone Halfway up and halfway home Let the night go slow Hang a little while with me Over all the lights Rock me slow, cable car Through the quiet night Every window down below Glows a gentle gold Hang a little while with me You don't have to hold Hang a little while with me Over all the lights Rock me slow, cable car Rock me slow tonight
