| [00:22.21] |
Redlight flickers in the dark |
| [00:27.02] |
Throwing her electric shapes on the screen |
| [00:31.74] |
A world of tiny colored spots |
| [00:36.34] |
A world lacking that final dimension |
| [00:41.45] |
And he watches, over tables and drawers that aren't his |
| [00:46.16] |
He watches her flicker, illuminate, glance down at him from mounted on the wall |
| [00:51.33] |
He watches because he trusts it |
| [01:01.05] |
He trusts the walls without pictures and the surfaces without photographs |
| [01:02.16] |
He trusts the sound of a zip over that of a door |
| [01:05.60] |
He trusts the lock and key not being his |
| [01:09.50] |
And the faceless cards that would let anybody in if they chose |
| [01:15.03] |
Because he chose |
| [01:19.96] |
She speaks only in silence |
| [01:24.87] |
Without words, her mere presence is a sound |
| [01:29.93] |
A dull hum that is there but not |
| [01:34.04] |
She is only redlight |
| [01:35.80] |
While he is emptiness |
| [01:39.33] |
A card with a printed name |
| [01:44.14] |
An unsigned dotted line |
| [01:48.54] |
An empty mini bar |
| [01:53.40] |
A forgotten badge crumpled on a forgotten lapel |
| [01:58.63] |
But he has redlight every night |
| [02:02.98] |
Redlight, wallpaper and minty breath |
| [02:08.03] |
Because in the morning she is always gone |
| [02:12.40] |
And then he has to ABC 1 his way to the car with a smile |
| [02:17.53] |
And he will find foreign roads |
| [02:22.29] |
And speak to static with a finger in his ear |
| [02:27.17] |
He will find painted smiles that don't sign |
| [02:31.58] |
And cheap wit cards to be crumpled in his wallet |
| [02:36.63] |
He will drink spirits from paper cups |
| [02:41.27] |
He will drink and laugh at the third dimension of the bar |
| [02:45.97] |
And let the bar staff read his name to feel at home |
| [02:50.72] |
He will find all of this and nothing else |
| [02:56.01] |
He will find it and he will trust it |
| [03:00.42] |
He will find it and he will trust it |
| [03:05.27] |
He will find it and he will trust it |
| [03:09.86] |
Because there is redlight in every turnoff on his road. |
