North Springs

springs -> a coiled spring; red-line north terminus, GA-400 park-and-ride gateway

Lyrics

[Intro - 10 second instrumental, no vocals: a coiled spring boinging, a beat bouncing up]

[Verse 1]
Top of the red line, the end of the climb,
where the four-lane comes in and the suburbs unwind;
park it and ride it, let the spring uncoil,
bounce down to the city off the northern soil.

[Verse 2]
Springs in the name and springs underfoot,
the whole town wound up and ready to shoot;
release the tension, let the green light go,
North Springs flinging you down to the show.

[Chorus]
North Springs, North Springs, wound up tight,
spring down the line into the city light;
boing, boing, the end becomes the start,
the far-north coil with a city in its heart.

[Outro - instrumental, no vocals: the spring settling, the beat bouncing out]
