The Mechanic Video (MV)

Working bathed in pale light and oil stains
Sheltered from silence he lowers the hood
Jen and Dan are home sleeping soundly
Time now to see if his wiring is good

Turns ignition; wishing does nothing
"Damn it" He grins as he opens the door
Wonders if it's time to go home now
Picks up the keychain he dropped on the floor

Lifts up the hood and his eyes shift about
But it could take him hours to sort it all out
Seems there's no choice but to call it a night
So he picks up his smokes and he turns off the light

Starts to walk with cigarette glowing
Lighting his way as he lumbers toward home
Pauses frozen tickled by breezes
Staring at nothing and standing alone

Wheels start to turn and he knows what he missed
When he shut out the world in his gear-headed bliss
Smiling and tossing his dead cigarette
He repeats to himself so he doesn't forget

Turns and quickly kills off his progress
Knowing that Danny won't miss him 'til dawn
Walks back in and needlessly softly
Closes the door and the lights are back on
