Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
