Fingers curl around cracked steering wheels
Diesel fumes kiss chrome and steel
One glove rests on vinyl seat
Twin lies abandoned at my feet
Neon bleeds through dirty glass
Two leather ghosts in ammonia gas
Crossroads blink red green and gold
Stories bought and slightly sold
Altar boy hands know how to pray
But tonight they just steer away
Hymnals burned for gasoline
Holy smoke in machine
Neon bleeds through dirty glass
Two leather ghosts in ammonia gas
Crossroads blink red green and gold
Stories bought and slightly sold
She wore hers to wipe the rain
From windshield where the streetlights stain
He kept his for gripping tight
Wheel spins left into the night
Breath condenses cold and sharp
Two heartbeats in a metal car
No confession booth in sight
Just sodium yellow cutting white
Choir robes traded for denim jack
No organ here to guide us back
But harmony still finds a way
In what the headlights betray
Neon bleeds through dirty glass
Two leather ghosts in ammonia gas
Crossroads blink red green and gold
Stories bought and slightly sold
Dawn cracks open pump and sign
Gloves untangle thread by line
One hand reaches one hand stays
Separate now but warmed by blaze
Neon bleeds through dirty glass
Two leather ghosts in ammonia gas
Crossroads blink red green and gold
Stories bought and slightly sold
Neon bleeds through dirty glass
Two leather ghosts in ammonia gas
Warmth lingers on cold leather
Prayer answered in the weather
