Memories are fading, a single voice complaining
While days are stacking up
It

I creep around slowly and receive from the tv signals about my life
I've no dedication to my medication i'm otherwise occupied
An ambitious plan to bring attention to myself
A cerebral hitman permeates my mental health

But i don

You've been working all your life
All weekends and overtime
While you're trying to unwind
You can't relate to the leisured life

Another day meanders by
Keeping nature's tabled time
All these things just pass you by
And you can't relax in a scheduled life

Promises already gone
There's no escape it's said and done
So keep your love forever young

You've been trying to decide
Multiply or just divide
All these things are on your mind
And you can't relax in a leisured life

Promises already gone
There's no escape it's said and done
So keep your love forever young

Caged
You hold so tight until your knuckles show
Escape
As far away as you could ever know
You sink them all down
And watch them float up
Until the wheel has spun around
You will be bound by what you are

You stand in the corner
With your face stripped of colour
For what?

If you want to be a passenger
Climb aboard with me we

~~private man:~~

I tell you he's a private man
In a public circumstance
He's eyeing up an old door frame *
Looking for a drastic change

It's such a shame this has to end
But things are out of his command

He has no further truth to tell
Now he has absolved himself
He's eyeing up an old door frame
And history secures his name

It's such a shame this has to end
But things are out of his command
There's no more problems to defend
And he falls, so far

I tell you he's a private man
In a public circumstance
He's eyeing up an old door frame
Looking for a tragic change

It's such a shame this has to end
But things are out of his command
There's no more problems to defend
Now he falls, so far *
Now he falls, so far
And he falls, so far *
And he falls, so far

A gentle winter haze creeps in at three forty-four
The hindley st parade shuffles to my door
The hotel decor shades are always poorly sewn
Twenty-five in thirty days makes this room feel like home

Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na

The western ocean breeze kick starts another day
And under brewed bag tea no matter where you get it always seems to leave that taste
The todd street mall cafe is here to save the day
Why should i complain when everybody else is overworked and underpaid

Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na

Days keep rolling over
Escape to the undercover
Soon it will all be over
And we can start again
