Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
