Five Minutes Away
My blue dot is on the map (spinning,
spinning) Five minutes away,
no turning back
Blackout cake with a single candle flame
Watching progress bars
like a video game
Three screens still glowing in the dark
Quiet glow of an empty business park
I text you that I'm just around the bend
But the app map
is spinning again
My blue dot is on the map (spinning,
spinning) Five minutes away,
no turning back
Tell me is it real or a
gig-economy ghost
When the screen glows brightest we lose the most Fingers on the
keyboard, pretending to be free
Tracing virtual routes across the city While the gig-economy clock
is running down We're just signals flashing across this town
My blue dot is on the map (spinning,
spinning) Five minutes away,
no turning back
Tell me is it real
or a gig-economy ghost
When the screen glows brightest we lose the most
Five minutes away... (just five minutes) Three screens,
a spinning map...
