Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
