Lyrics — Lunar Debt
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
