Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
