Living here no paradise,
never makes the news,
why try being nice,
might as well be space,
a useless sea and moon,
KFC junk on our plate,
we need a better life,
no matter what we do,
many lapse in silence,
will our wail resonate,
take us past the Blues,
if we look far away,
beyond at big horizonzs,
morning sometimes rue,
blame the sodium lights,
something to create,
thunder our turpitude,
not packed in crates,
home's no easy sight,
in w search for truth,
to dance before we die,
searching for youth.

Sometimes ask myself why,
can we ever atone,
stars pale in the sky,
it might as well be Mars,
for all anyone knows,
we've sailed out that far,
tears run from my eyes,
the sing of wind is cold,
is this just another time,
say kids and dogs you want,
don't prize a silky combe,
forget being calm,
when you hear me cry,
running out of zone,
why just sit and sigh,
ask if there are scars,
like coffee spill on chrome,
a battle's not a war,
no matter how we fight,
strain every weary bone,
need you close tonight,
are you coming home ?

You grab for the deeds,
laid out on the bar,
say a house gives serenity,
blow all our pay,
whisper thanks to Da,
you're a terrible waste,
heading for the sea,
riding in a junk car,
not what you used to be,
in a different age,
might have been a star,
now you're just jafed,
don’t fufill my needs,
only a warm hazy bog,
crammed childhood dreams,
dancing on the waves,
am everything you're not,
separate me my heritage,
love still waits for me,
even with its scars,
no roof will set you free,
whatever's going on.

I have no need of you,
stepping off this train,
despite such terrible news,
hate to appear like stone,
seeing everyone anyway,
it happens when love goes,
haven't got a clue,
how we will find today,
sad so uneven a funeral,
who arranged the loans,
prepared how she lay,
bet you were not alone,
now you face the ruins,
a voice flares or fades,
but's no longer my issue,
once I used to moan,
trying to erase everything,
I once called home,
you can wail the blues,
say everything's escaped,
truth is a bitter fruit,
I cry just the same.

It's hard to identify,
that misty time,
when dreams grew so high,
what part of me emptied,
and other parts denied,
the rise of a flood tide,
who needs an inquiry,
when love fails our sight,
or is then simply buried,
witness blurred lamp lines,
boardwalk planks so tight,
between moon and th sky,
wash down blue Daiquiri's,
laugh at our uneven flight,
it makes for a trilogy,
every walk of life,
contains buckets of cries,
each to their own trial,
you're my security light,
pooled outside the wire,
hold me in twilight,
don't ask why ?

Before my fame,
I only thought of you,
and how we slaved,
shadows rise in blue smoke,
contain an awful truth,
how come we're broke,
you always hated waste,
played many successful tunes,
maybe it was that other age,
longing for a happy home,
stare at club split rooms,
feel stripped to the bone,
inside classy cafe's,
we could have bloomed,
danced them night and day,
I'd control simple notes,
you could saxajoe smooth,
comfort those all alone,
how to begin again,
such lonely terrible news,
what fuelled our dreams,
was it those you blew ?
