Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
