Pack up fair girl and go home now / I'm seeing shapes but no sound / Calling me out from the shroud / A silent stage and no crowd / What you waiting for / You are right on time / Pack up and go home / What you lost back then / is for the taking now / Pack up and go home / Seed to fire / suddenly mine / Is what I know all changing / Oh, I inherit grey places? / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Blind to the sight of your god on the road / they take what they can if you know what I mean / Shame all the lies and the pain that you sold / break what you can if you know I mean / Pack up fair girl and go home now / I'm seeing shapes but no sound / I'm laying down my paper crown / no monarch here to play the clown / Seed to fire / suddenly mine / Is what I know all changing / Oh, I inherit grey places? / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Blind to the sight of your god on the road / they take what they can if you know what I mean / Shame all the lies and the pain that you sold / break what you can if you know I mean
Corner of my eye / its a sight i've been looking for / half hitch won't suffice / Oh my world, oh it just will not hold / Oh oh oh I've been living right / Oh oh oh I've been living right / I barter sleep for proof / I'm insured, what a gambling fool / wind me up to whirl / yellow top spinning black and blue / Oh oh oh I've been living right / Oh oh oh I've been living right / Slow down son, there's a sunrise that you're missing / She came down once, if you try they'll be listening / Its gonna get you every time you look / If you know what I mean / Its gonna get you every time you look / don't forgo what you need / City burning bright / I sweat just to keep up pace / Deplete my wealth of time /Interest's up a rocket rate / Oh oh oh I wanted more / Oh oh oh oh I wanted more / Fuel it up and ride / On the run we’re as thick as thieves / Come now sullen miles / Won’t you sell me what I need / Oh oh oh I've been living right / Oh oh oh I've been living right / Slow down son, there's a sunrise that you're missing / She came down once, if you try they'll be listening / Its gonna get you every time you look / If you know what I mean / Its gonna get you every time you look / don't forgo what you need
I’m not your ordinary girl / I’m not your princess fairytale / I’m just an ornary curl / In your flat iron straight world / This ain’t your mama's sundress / It ain’t your papa's tool belt / It’s just a low rent sleeper cell / Microwave dinner bell / And I know fire and I know hell / And Yeah I’ve been there before / I may lie its just as well / There’s no difference anymore / So stroll me down the neighborhood / We can pretend you know what’s good / and maybe I can interject / to stroke your probing intellect / I’ll let you fix my flat tire / I’ll let you stoke my little fire / I got a box matches / And I don’t care what catches / I’ll wear white and you’ll wear blue / And Yeah we’ll go it alone / I’ll sell my lies if you will too / For a Saturn starter home / Oh don’t you leave me stranded / Oh don't you leave me stranded / Oh don’t you leave me stranded / Oh don't you leave me stranded / I’ll fix you beer and casserole / we can forget the water globe / trade in brooding grey nights / don't sixty moons sound nice? / I’ll take drugs and you’ll give hugs / Nickname it something cute / if we run clean out of luck / A lie will always do / Oh don’t you leave me stranded / Oh don't you leave me stranded / Oh don’t you leave me stranded / Oh don't you leave me stranded
Icon at the window, flowers that you dried / Two years and counting, never ask me why / So lay down beside me, damn the city lights / moon faced beauty, fierce and standing by / Mary called to tell me / Everything has changed / Mary called to tell me / Everything has changed / Baby prince I told you, I can’t swim with you no more / It don’t make much sense now, Laughing at the shore / So leave me empty handed, diagnose it all / Though measured and intended, its still the same old wall / And Mary called to tell me / Everything has changed / Mary called to tell me / Everything has changed / Stop right here / Try and see / Its not Rocket Science / Oh I’m tired is all / Oh I’m tired is all / Strange pair they tell me, the battle’s sure to be / Explosive at best, at worst aimed at me / Mary called to tell me / Everything has changed / Mary called to tell me / Everything has changed / Stop right here / Try and see / Its not / Rocket Science / Oh I’m mad for you / Oh I’m mad for you / Stop right here / Try and see / Its not / Rocket Science / Oh I'm tired is all / Oh I'm tired is all / Icon at the window / Flowers that you dry / Two years and counting / Never asked me why
Send her home / She don’t know where she is going / Send her home / She’s scared of oh not knowin / Don't you know she never was the girl / To take it all in stride? / How am I supposed to tell the girl / Let go and just ride? / Here alone / I’m drowning in her face / Painted doll / bear teeth in fits of rage / Bone white gate hold back / A tongue sharp as cythe / Was no telling how she would react / We laughed away the nights / Teeth, Teeth / Teeth, Teeth / Send her home / I don’t know where she is going / Send her now / I’m scared of oh not knowing / Don’t you know its been the kind of world / Where I could use a friend? / I’ve made peace with you on this before / But now I will not bend / Teeth, Teeth / Teeth, Teeth / Send her home / Send her home / Send her home / Send her home
Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Oh Mother it never was right or easy why / Revolver, resolver, resounding hunter, I / was clever took shelter under the belt of time / Oh oh oh / Oak top well don't scare me now / I'll change myself and down rappel / Jaws hang down soon they'll tell / if hunger wins, she broke the swell / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Oh mother, I wanted much more than what I found / Exploited, deployed on one man's battle ground / oh captain oh captor defacto prince I bow / Oh oh oh / Oak top well don't scare me now / I'll change myself and down rappel / Jaws hang down soon they'll tell / if hunger wins, she broke the swell / Ah ah ah / Ah ah ah / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Oh father, good charmer, cast iron sleeping dove / implore me, deplore me, restore me if you love / this senseless, mock-princess, wife of the king of doubt / Oh oh oh / Oak top well don't scare me now / I'll change myself and down rappel / Jaws hang down soon they'll tell / if hunger wins, she broke the swell / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit / Fit, fit, fit
all changed, all changed, all changed / Remember summer, how we laughed at the desert sun / Remember seeing, perspective never asked me why / Remember swimming, how we made that river blush / Remember visions, I froze them in a perfect hush / but it all changed / all changed all changed / Seeing you that way must have cost me everything / The sun on your face was a photograph I was meant to take / Now I know, I’m blind behind the bedroom door / Now I know, I’m blind behind the bedroom door / if I’m tempted by the sounds of truth or just the stubborn need to know / I just won’t look!
the feeling comes to me now and then / with the urgency of a hunger pang - you know / I try my best just to drift along / the undercurrent never steered me wrong - I know / swimming upstream is all I do / what does it mean? / I’m tired and I’m dreaming of that shore / for you and me / help me now, I could really use / the compass that I know you can be / I would not ask for too much more / Than a steady hand and a glimpse of who you were / wading through the shallows never got / me too far / I’m tired and I’m dreaming of that shore / where you are / why won’t you change for me? / why won’t you change for me? / what can I arrange to make you see? / you left me out at sea / I just don’t see how they underplay / the loss you carry with you everyday - I know / If words are ships, I have launched a fleet / to bring you back, what a grand defeat - I know / swimming upstream is all I do / what does it mean? / I’m tired and I’m dreaming of that shore / for you and me / why won’t you change for me? / why won’t you change for me? / what can I arrange to make you see? / you left me out at sea
dark side of Melbourne, moonbeams shining / baby’s gone again / pain all around me, I'm feeling nothing / baby’s gone again / finest eyes I’ve ever seen, and a smile to make you beg / she told me all about her dreams and I though I could mend / the hurt in everything she found / but In circles I go round and round / she needed space, she pulled away, like water from the shore / the drift you know, was never far, she'd come back home for more / the kiss was the plea for me to hold / but my arms they fail me you know / dark side of Melbourne, moonbeams shining / baby’s gone again / pain all around me, I'm feeling nothing / baby’s gone again / tell me now / what have I got to show? / tell me how/ to feel free in space so close / there’s nothing left but days for me here on the field / seasons come and then they go, and the sun never yields / there’s fences all around this town I know / I become what you needed to forgo / dark side of Melbourne, moonbeams shining / baby’s gone again / pain all around me, I'm feeling nothing / baby’s gone again
climbs and chains calling / twist me and turn me right / on my heavy head / too much time in my own woodshed / look down, I can still see steady / ground, what a tiny speck / the cracks never slow me down / but with all this spinning / round I think I’m / surely bound to / lose my grip and / scatter on you / confetti me I’m / pink white blue green / sweep up quickly / sweep up quickly / never all clear / i'm never all clear / i'm never all clear / steel giant hurl me out of / my silent little cage / and I scream like a siren warns / it's my time to evacuate / I’ve tried but I just can’t tell you / I feel like a subway mime / climbing ropes that nobody sees / getting laughs just to pity / me. I think I’m / surely bound to / lose my grip and / scatter on you / confetti me I’m / pink white blue green / sweep up quickly / sweep up quickly / never all clear / i'm never all clear / i'm never all clear / climbs and chains calling...
I remember it was clear mud / a morning like any other I’d say / I made my way to the sure old bus / the man in blue never turn to say / if you’re looking for life man, move on out / it's over and done before you make sound / I’ve seen them one by one go down / splendid sight if you're wearing the crown / if you’re asking me what its all about / a pair of running shoes ain't the will to shout / back on the street I remember the joke / you told to me in a cloud of smoke / senseless words and the stubborn hope / of the broken place I once called home / I dare to laugh out there all alone / inviting the eyes of the stone cold drone / silence raging against the tone / of the man who was sure he won’t take any more / if you’re looking for life man, move on out / it's over and done before you make sound / I’ve seen them one by one go down / splendid sight if you're wearing the crown / if you’re asking me what its all about / a pair of running shoes ain't the will to shout / clock right out and head back home / I'm standing there by the old lamp post / the fire I saw rolling down the road / the man in blue never gave such a show / if you're looking for life man, move on out / it's over and done before you make sound / I’ve seen them one by one go down / splendid sight if you're wearing the crown / if you’re asking me what its all about / a pair of running shoes ain't the will to shout
wedding gown and a blue sports car / I’ll make my way to the top again / past the ruins and miracle streets / don't I know the place / faint of heart I need you now / to let me down the white staircase / the arches there before my eyes / don't I know the place / does it make a difference / would you try / does it make a difference / would you try / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / the story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / The story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / I’ll wind my way to the top and hide / inside knots of your mulberry lies / the face I see in the rear view eye / oh the slight oh the change / precious face I recall you now / contempt of me familiar bride / all paid up; what a dowry brings / oh I gave you life / come on make me different / would you try / come on make me different / would you try / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / the story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / the story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / wedding gown and a blue sports car / I’ll make my way to the top again...
OK to look now / man, I’m supposed to be your only friend / hurling round every unknown bend / you and me and the tiger pen / so why is it I’m feeling all alone /up and down it don’t make no sense / you, the crown or the picket fence / emperor you’re gonna feel that cold / how could you throw me out like an out of fashion coat / it’s OK look now, I’ve been here for a long time / it's a long way to fall down, don’t matter if you hold tight / man, these scenes really freak me out / it's one too many pale princess clowns / carnival of tattered gowns / the siren sounds and Bride marches down / don’t sniff too much of that fairy dust / or hold out stubborn for the magic touch / when the lights go down and you don’t have much / I’ll be me right there in the perfect dead end town / it’s OK look now, we’ve been here for a long time / it’s a long way to fall down, don’t matter if you hold tight / OK to look now...

Son hear what I say and run / it's time you leave this lie / I never did amount to much / no matter how I try / my pay was a quick mouth / I talked a good game, quite a show / son I could not have known better / I could never be that way / if you see her on the water / no doubt she’ll sigh at you and say / I won’t give you the benefit / I won’t listen if you cry / but I won’t go without you / I won’t go without you / I won’t go without you / I won’t go without you / take this faded photograph / tailored suit and the world / you may not recognize the man / but give me credit where you can / you won’t give me the benefit / you won’t listen to me cry / I won’t go without you / I won’t go without you / I won’t go without you / I won’t go without you / my pain is slow day / I watch it wilt, what a shame
You said to me you’re leaving / and I’m reeling from the sound / oh I know you’re needed / so you’re eastern bound / the thunder's rolling in / and the rain is coming down / and you tell me not to worry anymore / silence paints the days / and the house is turning pale / all I do wonder / under someone else’s sky / you write to me with grace / and tell me about it all / and baby I won’t worry anymore / I wait up for the call / tell me about it all / two weeks you’ve been gone now / I’m missing your kind face / I’m doing right and keeping / with all that I should say / when you come home to me weary / and lay your sorrow down / baby I won't worry anymore / I wait up for the call / tell me about it all / I wait up for the call / tell me about it all / remember how I stood there / and watched you walk away / you turned to me to offer / one last kind wave / all things we do for love, / oh the pain that I endure / baby I don’t worry anymore / what I’d give to have you near me / to touch your weary brow / baby I won't worry / baby I won't worry / baby I won't worry anymore
Sly persistent narrative / I’m hiding from you / there's power in the story / when you tell it like you do / staggering though relevance was lost / with that pen you write such harm / silver words, they shoot / straight from you / I feel you lose me / and I resent that too / betrayal the loyal friend / is constancy born in ink? / fine / I needed the proof / fine / I need it, don’t you? / old dog winter, you know me so well / here we cut corners, back home the they tell / the tale of someone strange / brash, smart girl / fine / I needed the proof / fine / I need it, don’t you? / my mouth warm with fond words from time to time / in memory I serve you, will learn whats mine / staggering the relevance of snow / giving way to march time again / fine / I needed the proof / fine / I need it, don’t you? / sly persistent narrative / I’m hiding from you / there's power in the story / when you tell it like you do / staggering though relevance was lost / brash, smart girl
If the weather’s right, I sail on / money’s tight, I stay gone / what I need / don’t really change much / I'm down again, oh lord / underneath a brash sky / what I feel don’t really change much / you gotta be fast / is there another way to be these days? / I gotta be fast / just to keep up with things they want me to say / let it go / let it go / let it go go go / and we'll go go go / if the water’s calm, I go fish / when the storm is on, I stay home / when I smile, it's cause you’re there / I drop like words from a slack jaw / I’m scared to death of losing again / hold my hand, we'll take slow step / you gotta be fast / is there another way to be these days? / I gotta be fast / just to keep up with things they want me to say / let me go / let me go / let me go go go / yeah we go go go / come here and talk me down / take a walk, what a strange town / stepping out, don’t seem bad now / if the weather’s right, I sail on / money’s tight, I stay gone / what I need / won’t really change much
when did my heart turn into / A dirty platform / for our love / can you tell me, tell me when? / You stand here on it / in your correct stiletto boots / You dig you heal as you / Politicize me and you / [You say] I’m looking out for the interests / Of all parties here / simple market economy, I could be / getting more for less / I had my strategy, this only comes 'round once for me / Show me what you mean / the podium is open free / Unknown to me / you prepared a brilliant speech / But I got a right to know / Whats going down in my name / You say you know whats better for me / But how’s this better for me / When did you become / The smiling crook on tv / When did I become / The proudly submissive of free / Simple market economy / I want what I can’t have / There you are / my old glass ceiling / I had my strategy, this only comes 'round once for me / Show me what you mean / the podium is open free / Unknown to me / you prepared a brilliant speech / I got a right to know / Whats going down in my name / You say you know whats better for me / But how’s this better for me / I got a right to know / Whats going down in my name / You say you know whats better for me / But how’s this better for me / when did my heart turn into / A dirty platform / for our love / can you tell me, tell me when? / You stand here on it / in your correct stiletto boots / You dig you heal as you / Politicize me and you
Syrup – thick on [my] mind / April and the fire is wild / I'm thinking now about the city scape / oh I know I don’t feel like that / I’m thinking now about the architect / oh I know, I won’t build like that / the trade, it was some kind of the thrill / [I] see you, and I’m ready to spill / you tell me all about the sunshine girls / Oh I know I don’t look like that / you tell me all about the desert sun / Oh I know it don’t feel like that / I bet you don’t know / what I've been through looking for you / I bet you don’t know, It's been hell here without you / I bet you don’t care, but I went through it for you / I bet you don’t know, what I’ve been through / heat, how you trumped my will / I'm bent to your shapes and I can’t hold still / I'm thinking now about the steady girl / How she fell, you know it don’t seem right / I’m thinking now about sugar world / how it fades right out of sight / I bet you don’t know / what I left back there for you / I bet you don’t know, It was hell there without you / I bet you don’t care, but I went through it for you / I bet you don’t know, what I’ve been through / I'm thinking now about the steady girl / how she fell, you know it don’t seem right / I’m thinking now about sugar world / don't I fade right out of sight? / I bet you don’t know / what I've been through looking for you / I bet you don’t know, It's been hell here without you / I bet you don’t care, but I went through it for you / I bet you don’t know, what I’ve been through / syrup – thick on [my] my mind / April and the fire is wild
Oh strange child, I write you once again / underneath the ocean, I find you running thin / sure enough / I tried to sell you with all my shaky words / but you lose me in a moment, in the brine and surf / sure enough / it's pressure mounting with my every step / I’m telling stories that I don't regret / hey, I know you’re gone / hey, do you know what you’ve done? / and I write, and I write, oh I write, and I write / and I write, and I write, oh I write / steadfast mirror, can I fight you to the end? / will I wager the candid for the mild and simple friend? / sure enough / it's pressure mounting with my every step / I’m telling stories that I don't regret / hey, I know you’re gone / hey, do you know what you’ve done? / and I write, and I write, oh I write, and I write / and I write, and I write, oh I write / stories? just stories? were you ever real? / stories? just stories? are you ever real? / I’ve come back for you, with the tiger and the pen / but defeated is this warrior in the battle for the when / sure enough / It's pressure mounting with my every step / I’m telling stories that I don't regret / hey, I know you’re gone / hey, do you know what you’ve done? / and I write, and I write, oh I write, and I write / and I write, and I write, can I write?
I would take a thousand empty lies / I would take a thousand lonely nights / but I won’t take 3,000 miles / no I won’t take 3,000 miles / I would build the house tall and strong / I would find meaning in every song / you say to me 3,000 miles / can I bear all the weight of lonesome time / aren't you down about me now / I never planned for alone / I hope it all works out / but I never planned for alone / you don’t take the life of someone new / would you break the past of me and you? / you say to me 3,000 miles / hold on tight, I'm only gone a while / aren't you down about me now / I never planned for alone / I hope it all works out / plan for alone / I fear all the times that I forget / your face and the way you turn your head / to say to me 3000 miles / hold on tight I'm only gone a while / aren't you down about me now / I never planned for alone / I hope it all works out / I never planned for alone / I won't take / I won't take / I won't take / I won't take...
I’m wilting and bending, I know it I’ve been there, / low to the ground / I looking at no one, my eyes firm / pace steady now / It's sudden but certain, the quiet, the rage / become my only friend / I’ve asked and tried and Cynthia they tell me / patience will be bring me in / tell me what I’m doing wrong / I managed to sell my home again / tell me what I’m doing wrong / I bartered with all my hope again / sometimes, I pull back assume the girl / I learned to watch so well / she's Brazen, and tidy, I cannot hold it / she moves perfectly / tell me what I’m doing wrong / I managed to sell my home again / tell me what I’m doing wrong / I bartered with all my hope again / Cynthia remember my face tonight / I wanna walk with the shallow girls / Cynthia remember my face tonight / I wanna walk with the shallow girls / I’m thinking about it, too much tonight / the consequence of mind / he comes home distant and moves in shapes / I cannot classify / tell me what I’m doing wrong / I managed to sell my home again / tell me what I’m doing wrong / I bartered with all my hope again / Cynthia remember my face tonight / I wanna walk like the shallow girls / Cynthia remember my face tonight / I wanna walk with the shallow girls / tell me what I’m doing wrong / tell me what I’m doing wrong / tell me what I’m doing wrong / tell me what I’m doing wrong

Mona don't you know / it was the hardest way to go / but I'm here again on the island / feeling like a child / the rabbit and the ghosts / Wallace don't you know / I don't think about it anymore / not the cat nor the rage / all the leaves are falling / from Jupiter / all the leaves are falling / from Jupiter / Mona don't you see, / it's not you or me / it's the same way for everyone / giving up on the shore / the dream and the pen / are you still there at the desk / all the lies she told don't matter now / she's a million lines away / all the leaves are falling / from Jupiter / all the leaves are falling / from Jupiter / come down / I wanna show you / so many things / come now / I was so wrong about so many things / I wanna leave it now / oh won't you lay it down / I wanna leave it now / Wallace, she's alone / drifting in and out / should I write to mend the tear I see / or was there merit in the cold? / all the leaves are falling / From Jupiter / all the leaves are falling / from Jupiter / come down / I wanna show you / so many things / come now / I was so wrong about so many things / I wanna leave it now / oh won't you lay it down / I wanna leave it now / Mona don't you know / it was the hardest way to go / but I'm here again on the island / feeling like a child
