Lyrics
(A cappella)
The key-copy kiosk on Flatbush Avenue.
(Guitar enters, clean-toned and sparse)
The kudzu swallowing the Domino Sugar sign.
A payphone with the receiver ripped clean off.

The ghost of a pier down by the navy yard.

A map made of rust and sound.
(Song stops. 3 seconds of silence)
[Outro]
(Pedal steel and a single horn swell back in)
Your laugh, a tear in the static.
Still pinned to the map.
