Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
