Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
