Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The radio plays songs from someone else
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
