My lips twist like knives,
I am not forgiving,
eyes scan the river wide,
what else is new,
the wind bites when skipping,
to our secret venues,
my mother says stay wise,
make sure you kid him,
many a long night,
our love is never smooth,
I’m tobacco blonde and with it,
maybe it's true,
maybe she's right,
skinned alive and swimming,
sunlight, water, sky,
he’ll walk down my avenue,
laughter's for the giving,
eyes bright blue,
nail him with my smile,
his fame locked into winning,
I dance in the tide,
is this our new beginning?

You laugh at silly fate,
when you’re wearing red,
find that life is great,
this is what you do,
always stay ahead,
smile like a fool,
know the latest rate,
even from your bed,
always come too late,
give money to schools,
even with your cred,
who knows what’s true,
Oh you carry weight,
but nothing you can’t shed,
if it’s to your taste,
when you sing the Blues,
no one calls the Feds,
to arrange a rescue,
cold white hate,
has no place in your head,
paint your nails,
you’re far from dead

We snatch at desperate news,
set a passage clear,
nothing else will do,
carry heartache home,
it might cost us dear,
we drag it all alone,
nothing left to rue,
a course of different years,
no one thought we knew,
if this makes you groan,
think what else you fear,
no matter what the tone,
there’ll be other rules,
to bring our vision near,
golden domes unused,
take another loan,
put perfume on our ears,
on such paths we're torn,
slake our need for fuel,
say prayers instead of tears,
no need to be cruel,
we ride the bitter jeers.

Haven't you heard,
I'm shaping to leave,
are you scared,
shoals of tuna dart away,
can't you see,
they’re frightened of the Marlin,
I can’t share the hurt,
my songs of the sea,
don’t really belong here,
say I’m too late,
as if I need,
to make you feel great,
you tut when I slur,
know the might have been,
as if you care,
won't need to pray,
for some kind of ease,
nights I’m off the rails,
is it my unwashed hair,
I need to bleach,
will hope get us there,
or other beliefs?

Keep an ear for trains,
your body turns to stone,
let us show the way,
forget what's on your mind,
this’s about your soul,
you're not the lonely kind,
crying makes you slay,
a song all your own,
hands across your face,
don't take fright,
or fall like a dope,
for any stray you find,
rub against the grain,
stay out there alone,
don't worry about the freight,
tunes make them smile,
when they’re far from home,
stems the fear inside,
this railroad’s always late,
all our life’s on show,
nothing has to change,
sing it from below.

When you want to phone,
drag an ash can far,
love is just a joke,
trails are all we use,
searching near and far,
life flames around us,
Saints reveal their bones,
then leave the door ajar,
can't do passion alone,
we don't need a feud,
at some crowded bar,
to know what to do,
don't drink and foam,
your head spinning la la,
we have no home,
we’ll head for the blue,
wave at the stars,
seek another view,
ours is a part-time start,
safe within the zone,
other stuff departs,
catch us when we're gone

We share jokes and put,
hopes on those who disappear,
geese rise among the just,
no one owns a crown,
to be ushered in here,
or puts the others down,
those of us fussed,
we'll always hold dear,
what's been lost,
in our Ocean town,
everything is clear,
you know who’s sound,
someone to trust,
she walks like the deer,
with no trace of musk,
everyone she knows,
brushes away fear,
she’s never on her own,
we drink the failing years,
each night is a must,
to bathe in happy tears,
laugh before the dusk.
