You say take me high,
as if i am a plane,
thank the great divine,
all the blessings he bestows,
come back again,
know I'm better off alone,
you've had your time,
as if it's all a game,
better not to lie,
oh you're going home,
where they feel the rain,
a harbour where ships go,
on that east coast side,
they know about pain,
when something's not right,
your wrist around me slows,
I smile and shake again,
don't wait upon the flow,
now you're on your way.

Don't talk the old ways,
beg to understand,
in harsh and stupid forays,
irritance in your tone,
sprinkling off your hands,
too scared to be alone,
a frightened path to trace ,
the giving of a chance,
love don't hamper your days,
somewhere in your bones,
something wants to plan,
forget the damage done,
what's this show for anyway,
you whistle out your chants,
say my happiness is key,
is this what you crave,
shrug and measueew distance,
all I need to stay,
is rescued if you dance.

Birds can't raise a tune,
till they hear me moan,
know I sing the Blues,
sat in bars making bets,
I pine for stools of gold,
is this how good it gets,
a match stick struck in ruin,
my eyes sparkle and roam,
how to please the room,
I don't pay any rent,
someone gives me loans,
better than money spent,
a dinky drop of moon,
arrives through winter dawn,
it's not the best Saloon,
why let it make me fret,
I''ll be back to own,
it won't beat me yet,
listen to my song.

I flutter ike a scarecrow,
as dance comes upon me,
imagine when the wind blows,
don't need a cross to perch,
my only demand is honesty,
measure distance avoid lurch,
sometimes worry how I know,
thinking only of the seed,
how its scattered and thrown,
will it always hurt,
never to go gently,
the same is said in church,
even if my hopes are torn,
deep within directly,
hope still fills my bones,
much bigger than my shirt,
put it down to destiny,
this field amidst the dirt,
saints pray quietly.

Kylie
She starts to gently croon,
join me in my cradle,
life goes by too soon,
the difference is the dollar,
she builds a spending frame,
twirling sipping vodka,
no note of impending doom,
all my friends are sane,
nothing to suggests ruin,
who will feel her collar,
they're now beyond shame,
playing lottery rollovers,
what passes for the truth,
won't resist the rain,
she ties to stays aloof,
who among us is bothered,
she cries the baby's name,
laughs away her troubles,
isnt it all a game ?

play the the fool,
they know of your plight,
say what they can't do,
you try to condone,
all cards marked,
you're not that far,
just down the freeway
Jan
Fling that watch away,
you always look too much
fallen like a snowflake,
dont go and stand alone,
rage against the rush,
cry under winter's dome,
nothing's more to say.
make this brief time flash,
before they drive him away,
he'll find his life boned,
in a cold second stretch.
all those summer's gone,
they know about your state,
the sky's a common touch,
it offers a kindly face,
he leaves without a stone,
your house is nothing plush,
books and music do console,
the pain is nothing such.
