Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
