Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
