lyrics

Crashing boredom & punishment, bodies thrashing around in the wet cement, we’re upgrading your experience. Pick me up from the airport at 10.30pm and we can come back home and begin again. One gesture is as good as another, well that’s been the story all along, how do you think I wrote this song? Crashing boredom and punishment, bodies thrashing around in the wet cement. We haven’t seen the worst of it. Sometimes the sadness overtakes me, something I see in a supermarket aisle just overwhelms me, like something’s trying to break me. Shouldn’t be so hard to keep the beast at bay, with take away every other night and a sleep-in every other day, and so many video games. Used to be so easy to stay on track, we’d ride our bikes to the blockbuster for VHS or Betamax.. And Golden Axe. Well I guess I must be getting old, lighting fires to keep the snakes at bay like Harrison Ford when he played Indiana Jones. I’m timid and I’m pale, but I’m delighted that we made it this far, it’s all philosophical - you’ve gotta play the cards you’re dealt, draw four and begin again.
