Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
