Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
