I heard that doll you’re looking for a lover?
We’ll look no further we can be there for each other
if you want to
oh if you wanna.
You’re much younger and I’m much older,
it doesn’t really matter cause maturity wise we’re pretty much the same
Don’t you think ?
I heard that doll you’re looking for a lover?
It could feel so good feelin’ bad for each other
if you need it
ah if you need it.
Somethings you can only ever say to a stranger, so tell me your stage name or whatever shaped ya.
I ain't above it
So it let’s go below
I’m in a Permenant rage
But i’m semi engaged
Got one foot in the game another one on the bench
It’s just a dance full of fists
from one headbutt to the next
I’m just a mummies boy with a bird song voice
Sing it again.
I heard that doll you’re looking for a lover
It could feel so good feelin’ bad for each other
if you want to
ah if you wanna
You meet all kinds of people in all sorta bars
On the tiny dance floor you lit up the dark
with ya silk dress on.
Oh what a sight
I’m sorry baby if I was being sneaky
I didn’t notice you there
didn’t know you needed me
oh I wanted to win
I wanted to win on the pokies
I wanted to snake eyes
I wanna get outta where I am
If I could just get outta where I am
If I could just get free
get free for a moment
Ah you can jimmy the lock with a credit card but the light is coming from the floor
so let’s go below
I’m in a Permenant rage
But i’m semi engaged
Got one foot in the game another one on the bench
It’s just a dance full of fists
from one headbutt to the next
And one by one the ritual will just keep going on
You gotta ghost of a chance
It’s a thin as ya skin
what scares you half to death is gonna meet you halfway
and as bad as it is
as bad as it is baby
this is as good as it’s gonna get
so come ‘on.

I know why you keep coming here
To stand between the dreamer and the dream
Like a lighthouse singing to the shipwreck shore
I don’t mind at all
I don’t mind at all
I’ll go your way and you go mine,
I told you once I told you a thousand times
It’s the line in the sand that calls you over here
What moves the ocean also moves the shore
I don’t mind at all
I don’t mind at all
If you re looking for an answer
You’ll only find the sea
What’s pulling you away babe, is pulling you to me
When I thought I could’ve touched it
It sank beneath the waves
The tide will always claim what drifts away
I know why you keep coming here
The sand in the eyes that makes the water clear
You were drowning so fast I couldn’t pull you in
so I been sinking on my own
I don’t mind at all
I don’t mind at all
If you re looking for an answer
You’ll only find the sea
What’s pulling you away babe, is pulling you to me
When I thought I could’ve touched it
It sank beneath the waves
The tide will always claim what drifts away
On the wave of Whatever
We’re never coming back
We’re riding it together
We’re nowhere on the map
When I thought I could’ve touched it
It sank beneath the waves
The tide will always claim what drifts away

Step Up

The bed you make
the smiles you fake
will end up here
The friends you fucked
you pushed your luck
lets make that clear
Dry your eyes tie your shoes
Drink some coffee read the news
Clean the kitchen hide the booze
Don’t embarrass your girlfriend man
That’s the least you can do for her
Get ya head out of the gutter
No mooching off your mother
Be like ya older brother
This day will end tonight
and do so again
until ya
STEP UP
STEP UP
STEP UP
STEP UP, STEP UP
STEP BACK DOWN
Ya stuck ya knife to ma belly
Didn’t the guts to tell me
I know the shape you’re sleeping in, every pale inch of your skin
Did you really think you’d get away with it?
No more sleeping in the gutter
No more mooching off your mother
Be a better lover
You’re dancing on your own here
There’s no one else
and nothing left to do but
STEP UP
STEP UP
STEP UP
STEP UP, STEP UP
STEP BACK DOWN
you won’t look into my eyes
but i don’t care about you crying
I hear about it always
and all the time
a liar can’t fake it
A liar can’t fake it
not all the time
The bed you make
The smiles that you fake
The love that you push and all the friends that ou couldn’t touch
All the smoke you were gonna blow and all the rest of it I don’t know
you just gotta
STEP UP
STEP UP
STEP UP
STEP UP, STEP UP
STEP BACK DOWN
you won’t look into my eyes
but i don’t care about you crying
I hear about it always
and all the time
a liar can’t fake it
A liar can’t fake it
not all the time
A liar can’t fake it
A liar can’t fake it
Not all of the time.

Punishment Sucker
02:47

I wounded her but she held the gun
You know the ay that goes
Theres a sea of dark matter in my lily white love
The bright light is the first to blow
Spitting out the words you put into my mouth
The secret in the secrets are finding there way out
No control over you no control of myself
something must be wrong
So take the moon
and take a star
for when you don’t know
who you are
Take my women and take my boy
and let me lead you
In the last dance
Her cigarette lips fill my black smokers heart
A punishment sucker who hasn’t sucked enough
Another ghost story haunted by lust
The bright lights the first to blow
So take the moon
and take a star
for when you don’t know
who you are
Take my women and take my boy
and let me lead you
In the last dance

See What Happens Next

I lost my fingertips
I left them in your hair
I touched you once to much now the cops are coming in
I’m not the only lover you had from time to time
You kept their DNA
Their names all slipped your mind
In the mirror and the glass you watch them going by
The truth was always there hiding in the lie
Down the garden path, laying in the thorns
A tired old lover is waiting to be born
But you are no one's mother or not yet anyway
Theres far too much of you you can’t give away.
It’s alright
Just a trick of light
Don’t pay it no mind
Happens all the time
Let it just keep happening
In the morning I still think of you in different parts
Drifting of to sleep, getting sober in the bath
Alice says you cry I remember you that way
Laying in my arms watch the traffic dance for you
From the skydive of my room we stay above it all
Until it’s time to go hear your footsteps down the hall
An echo getting lost looking for itself
If you were hard to love I could never tell
So if you see my fingertips I’ll gladly take them back
To remember who I am if it ain’t too late for that
It’s alright
Just a trick of light
Don’t pay it no mind
Happens all the time
If you come back around here
Or you’re just passing through
You can look me up you wanna but don’t feel like you have to
Let’s see what happens now.

Bad Things

Thank god you’re here
Cause when I’m alone I do bad things
My lonely days
are wasting away
I’ll be alright If you stay
If I had the world to give you
Or nine lives to win you
I’d give em to you now
The chances we’re taking
The slow dance we’re making
I give em to you now
I’m in trouble
I’m in trouble
Baby
Don’t leave me solo
Don’t leave me solo
Baby
Thank god you’re here
Cause when I’m alone I do bad things
Thank god you’re near
Cause when I’m alone I do bad things
I have more than love to give you
I see what moves within you
Don’t give up on me now
I’m coming for you lover
One foot then the other
Don’t give up on me now
I’m in trouble
I’m in trouble
Baby
Don’t leave me solo
Don’t leave me solo
Baby
Thank god you’re here cause when I’m alone I do bad things
