Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
