Lyrics — Lunar Debt
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
