Lyrics — Velvet Rust
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
