[Intro] (Soft, gorgeous jazz piano, brushed snare, walking upright bass) [Verse 1] The sun is coming up over the Hackensack line The single-file HTML is looking completely fine I've been typing in the dark since midnight struck Relying on logic and a little bit of luck The Aegis Hub is functioning, the javascript is clean The quietest revolution that nobody has seen My eyes are getting heavy, the screen is glowing bright It's time to finally surrender to the morning light [Chorus] It's closing time at the digital cafe I'm putting all the variables and functions away The code is compiled, the server is at rest I did what I could, I gave it my best And now the world is waking up to do it all again While I just close the laptop and put away the pen Yeah, it's closing time, the shift is finally through [Verse 2] There’s a strange kind of peace in a finished string of text Not having to worry about what is coming next Just a beautiful architecture living in a file Waiting to be opened in a little while The birds are starting up outside the bedroom window blind Leaving the ghosts of the internet behind I'm walking to the kitchen for a glass of water cold Feeling a little younger, feeling a little old [Chorus] It's closing time at the digital cafe I'm putting all the variables and functions away The code is compiled, the server is at rest I did what I could, I gave it my best And now the world is waking up to do it all again While I just close the laptop and put away the pen Yeah, it's closing time, the shift is finally through [Bridge] (Piano gets softer, bass takes a melodic solo) We're all just building little hubs to keep out the storm. Trying to find a way to stay relatively warm. Through the weirdness of the city and the silence of the night. Just hoping that the syntax is written exactly right. [Outro] Save the file. Close the screen. Good morning, New Jersey. (Slow ritardando, final warm piano chord rings out and fades to silence)
