Late Night with the Lowlife
A shower turns into a romance
a romance of bubbles
Against a backdrop of sky-blue tiles
I intend to win you over … in a while
Let’s consider our needs and transgressions
We’ll be late night with the lowlife.
How do you do what you do to me
after all this time?
Hedonism and exhibition: like cake on the sofa
Oh how it becomes us, two everyday losers
We'll be late night with the lowlife...
Two everyday losers...
But that’s not even true
that’s just posing for sympathy
Like shadows on orphans, like crying for eternity
We’ll be late night with the lowlife
How do you do what you do
To me after all this time?
It’s all right: I’ll enjoy it while I can

THEY CRASH THEIR CARS
Well, if you compare the death toll there
to the roadkill over here
As the street covers the coffins
and heads through the hole in the sky...
They crash their cars.

DEAD FRIENDS
Smeared & broken, they fill quiet moments
Clothes on the floor,
they left all things overflowing.
Now they are dustmites & whispers
Kneel in the service of dead friends
Kept in the corners.
Dead Friends.
Dead friends still come around, you know;
In grey reverie with no volume control.
And it’s funny the thing you remember
And the things you don’t.
Kneel in the service of dead friends
Kept in the corners.
Dead Friends.
Yes, we were there…

FOR THE GIRLS BACK HOME
Mum, I spent the day hauling bodies off of beaches.
I don’t think I knew them, it was too noisy.
And it’s funny, but when I blacked out in the water,
I dreamt I was in detention, in defence, playing soccer.
Say hello to dad and the dog
I promise I’ll be okay
All my love.
Girl, sometimes it’s like I left my mind back home.
And sometimes I’m wading through blood and bones
I shouldn’t tell you, because I know you’ll worry
I dream of you every night,
in dreams you get me through
I’m so scared you won’t wait
I promise I’ll be okay
All my love.
