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]
