Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
