Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
