Your eyes never chaste,
rooms where no one goes,
champagne keeps us awake,
forget how much we blew,
always need to show,
we’re beyond bad news,
tutors on the make,
paying off who's owed,
we fiddle what remains,
never cease to slew,
those who bring us down,
carry such lousy views,
it’s not what we gain,
that makes us groan,
but what's stripped away,
robbing makes us rue,
life lived on our bones,
caught in stupid feuds,
stuff we never own.

We share jokes and put,
hopes on those who can,
geese rise in the dusk,
no one wears a crown,
to be ushered onto trams,
or put others down,
those of us in want,
are always on the lam,
to see what's crossed,
in our Ocean town,
everything is panned,
ships ply on the Sound,
someone whose for laughs,
who doesnt wear a mask,
carries a hint of musk,
everywhere on trust,
she's never on her pants,
grins before the dust,
lives a life we can't,

Don't sway in the rain,
swear it’s the others,
who brought you this state,
hope you can diffuse ,
costs you can recover,
butter them with truth,
is it that portrait,
a hang dog front cover,
that carries your name,
whatever you choose,
why curse or bother,
just pay them what's due,
whiskey fires the brain,
life's a load of trouble,
don’t ask me to pay,
impose a dawn curfew,
look after your brother,
despite all the feuds,
our family's your buffer.

If I warm my toes,
around your fire,
you can't then deny,
a bet you'll surely lose,
so many have tried,
mistake me for a fool,
don't chance to blow,
down telephone lines,
who you think will glow,
can you sing the blues,
make a gee tar twine,
work the other tools ,
never more than know,
if you play it right,
you'll need more vows,
I come from smoky virtue,
down a mountain line,
show me how yuur truth,
settles with my wine.

When you demand a phone,
from an airport in Quatar,
don’t say love’s a joke,
a fuel trail all we use,
searching skies near and far,
trying to fix the fuse,
Saints may reveal the bones,
some leave the door ajar,
passion can't fly alone,
whoever picks a Digi feud,
in a crowded airport bar,
has nothing left to lose,
are we anywhere near home,
a tarmac strip too far,
no longer to bumble along,
his is not a pleasant view,
even within yellow zones,
life circles around us,
hear the engines roar.

Look out for your train,
a face cut like stone,
someone to show the way,
forget the first time,
those who wait to board,
maybe the worrying kind,
taking notes you say,
some thoughts are our own,
others can float away,
who knows to take flight,
what we keep we own,
with these tracks in mind,
rub against the grain,
feel you’re not alone,
carrying too much freight,
our cargoes might unwind,
others just unfold,
nothing changes deep inside,
let's keep going

Look in the mirror girl,
don’t I look a fright,
days it makes me scared,
my eyes dance away,
they don't want to see,
the fear in my shape,
sorry about the hurt,
caused by being me,
someone has to care,
a kind word to say,
helps me in my need,
makes me feel great,
why worry when I slur,
rue the might have beens,
when i I walk upstairs,
brings a kind of ease,
nights I'm off the rails,
don't worry about my teeth,
find a ship that sails.
