Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
