Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
