Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
