Why beat at the walls,
sit down in the rain,
haver outside my door,
you were never at home,
acted just the same,
stuff that made me groan,
I know the score,
there’s nothing to gain,
while you run the course,
could you ever atone,
dance in my flames,
love isn’t a loan,
you know what’s more,
you’re a fake,
I’m hoping you roar,
never want to gloat,
this time is too raw,
to face myself again,
alone in a boat.

Sing songs in my car,
hot water in my tank,
nothing leaves a scar,
blown about by forays,
a ticking from the crank,
get ready for the play,
you smile within the dark,
make my mind go blank,
scatter ashes on the bar,
what is there to say,
I am not a bank,
clinging to a brighter day,
Oh, you are a dog,
no dollars left to thwack,
roll me like a log,
we never know how far,
love lies down the track,
to see what's going on,
greatful in our thanks.

Sometimes I ask why,
can we ever atone,
your eyes on fire,
is it just a shame,
that lights our bitter home,
turns over each new day,
same with our nights,
the wind runs cold,
aching for that other time,
kids and dogs bear our name,
we can’t get stoned,
just try to stay sane,
when you hear me cry,
please put down the phone,
it's not enough to sigh,
I’ll buy some shiny nails,
help out with the loans,
a house is not a jail,
to bruise our yellow bones

Please don't identify,
one lonely drunken fool,
hopeless between me and sky,
ask me to suffer,
your lies like broken sewers,
stuff you offer,
angel on a wedding night,
where no one is uncouth
something you got right,
now I must consider,
all your bad dreams too,
act like you’re a winner,
bring sweetness into light,
make jokes for the few,
buttered dreams candlelight,
to keep with my promise,
instead of this Cruise,
I’ll just step off it,
so tired of your music.

We share jokes and put, hopes on those who can, geese rise amongst the soot, no one wears a crown, to be ushered onto trams, or put others down, those of us fussed, are always on the lam, to see what's crossed, in our Ocean town, everything is panned, even those unsound, someone to trust, she walks with a mask, there's a hint of musk, everywhere she goes, laughs before the dust, never on her own, fallen leaves unplanned.

Oh go to France,
you expect me to say,
don’t ask for another chance,
I won’t go mute,
your life’s not famed,
you're still a fool,
in fact you're banned,
once again nailed,
take too much for granted,
laugh if you want to,
your lies are mere details,
this path’s not for you,
don’t look askance,
when I start to rail,
passion can pass,
shame’s but a fugue,
nothing more to claim,
you won’t need tunes,
the door's your name.

Can't get ‘round the news,
now you’ve ditched the car,
why no one tells the truth,
you wave at the Metro,
talk of making parts,
leave me with the loans,
I haven't got a clue,
where your heaven's are,
what I’m going to do,
everything we call home,
glistens on the tar,
the children watch alone,
I sing hopeless tunes,
trapped within my heart,
everything turns blue,
you leave us here to moan,
as if I was some tart,
make jelly of our bones,
truth’s a broken cart.
