[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.
