lyrics

Crosses on highways, flowers left to die.
A road of black ice takes me
Toward the evening sky.
Warning signs appear out of nowhere
Like the bleeding ribbons in your hair.
Black ice and a face of pure evil
Passes me with only inches to spare.

Driven to the forest in the boot of a Japanese car
Probably the result of a prank that had gone too far.
Smell the country air and the petrol fumes,
Plot a terrible revenge.
Don’t let the moment overwhelm you.

Running through the trees like a hunted animal
Don’t want to be another body found by a tourist
Lost in the forest, waiting for the sun to rise,
Pretending to be an old explorer or a bushranger.

Sit beneath the stars in a clearing
Make a fire, sing a song, go to sleep
And you dream of a perfect day.
White lines, sunshine, clean skin, toothpaste,
Orange juice, breakfast and a cup of tea.
Friendly faces in the morning read the paper
Walk the dog, write a letter to your mother
While discussing the evening news.

I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
