LYRICS:
-
When every station signs off
And the valley loses light
There's a room above the ridgeline
Where the dials burn all night
A voice slips through the carrier
No caller and no name
We catch it in the headphones
And mark the time it came
One pulse on the meter
Two tones underneath
We don't know who's calling
But we know when they speak
Red light on, hold that line
When the world goes quiet, we own the night
No call sign, no reply
But the signal's breaking through tonight
Red light on, let it roll
There's a thousand things the world will never know
No face, no name, no sign above the door
Red light on, we're listening for more
Red light on
Red light on
Another file without a source
Another date that doesn't fit
The tape was found in pieces
But the voice survived on it
Someone called it interference
Someone filed it away
Now we're running through the recording
And there's something else beneath
One pulse on the meter
Two tones underneath
We don't know who's calling
But we know when they speak
Red light on, hold that line
When the world goes quiet, we own the night
No call sign, no reply
But the signal's breaking through tonight
Red light on, let it roll
There's a thousand things the world will never know
No face, no name, no sign above the door
Red light on, we're listening for more
No address
No explanation
No one asking for permission
One more voice
One more night
One more reason to leave on the light
Keep the channel open
Keep the tape running
Watch the meter climb
Red light on
Red light on, hold that line
When the world goes quiet, we own the night
No call sign, no reply
But the signal's breaking through tonight
Red light on, let it roll
There's a thousand things the world will never know
No face, no name, no sign above the door
Red light on, we're listening for more
Red light on
