Spit in the Street |
Oh I lie awake, I’m fit to break |
And my head won’t leave me alone |
I’ve to make my way through one more day |
Strippin' knuckle to the glistenin' bone |
Oh it’s a shit-fight! |
hell-right! |
down to the Boulevarde |
Crackles in the blisterin' heat |
Where all the women they dress like high priced hookers |
And the men all spit in the street |
Oh I set out this mornin' in steel capped shoes |
I paid a hard earned dollar for all the bad news |
All to sell my soul to these ignorant mongrels |
They can’t stop me thinkin' of you |
Oh, I shove aside the human tide |
And I struggle just to keep control |
Through the lines o cabs, the angry stabs |
Of the traffic all split my skull |
Where the railway cops lay into the drunks |
And the people never seem to see |
And all the posh kids roll to the soul-less drivel |
I’ve been wearin' my dreams like tattered old jeans |
All beer soaked & bloodied, the arse showin' through |
And if I come home tonight without a knife in the neck |
Whats left of me belongs to you |
Follow me & we can drown together in a smoky little room |
Help carry me by the light of the angry moon |
A pocketful o' nails, the screechin' rails |
Air thick enough to make ya choke |
Five days o' grief for two relief |
It doesn’t ever seem enough, I know |
I need my white-hot fix o' my teenage kicks |
I gotta get back to me |
Among the boys o' Hades and the painted Ladies |
Of this city’s where I’ve got to be |
