I’ve got no more time for you
Cause everythin’ just moves too fast
And I’m treadin’ on a footpath
That reminds me of a face
Of everyone I knew

Blood ain’t on this page
And the leather pen just dries and cracks
And like an ice-cream in a kiln
I feel I’ve melted you away
And I don’t wontcher back

And now I’m on the train back home
I’m tired of mediocrity
Torn between fireworks and boredom
Wedding rings and drunken orgies
And I want it fucken all

I’m a letter in red pen
A salmon in my stream
I’m a selfish mother fucker
And I’ve taxed myself to death
My hobbies’ burnin’ Queens

Coal fallin’ from my mouth
Pretendin’ ta be diamonds
Wrapped in cookin’ foil
And splittin’ at the edge
Wither poison leakin’ out

And now I’m breakin’ down my walls
They builtem outta sandstone blocks
And they’re filled with stained glass windows
Weddings rings and crucifixes
And rosary beads around their necks

Exhausted from the search
Ta find the perfect sentiment
Pancake infidelity ate on
Southern picnic grass to the tune
Of Dale’s shredded voice




I’m a bandit on a train
I’m theft, I’m generosity
I’m a virgin, I’m a deviant
In Greensborough at 5am
And I’m suppressin’ all the pain

And now I’ve slammed shut all the doors
On my church and family
On obedience, subordinance
Sobriety and monogamy
And the Wagga corridor

Chrissake I’m nearly nude
And I’m standin’ in the dock
With 7 billion judges
And one big fucken worm
And I’m still feelin’ hot

I’m sleepin’ in two beds
And both have different names
Ones’ jaded and decayed
Ones’ apple-fucken-tini
And both suck at charades

I’m dyin’ for one tree
And I want the other dead
So I’m gonna close my eyes
Pick and climb one to the top
With a rope around my neck
