Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
