Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
