Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
