Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
