Lyrics — Iron Petals
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
