Lyrics

The water cistern hisses in the distance

The over flow spews up

It's contents on to the concrete floor


Telephone lines cut stark lines

Across the clear night sky

Oh I'm walking from side to side

My shoes cut into my ankles

Cut into my wallet

Cut into my mind


I decide to stop and rest

Against someone's front wall

I've had too much to drink

And I can't take no more


I see a shape approaching

From out of the distance

I hear it's tapping steps come up

And then suddenly stop

It's disappeared

And I am in shock


Seconds come minutes

And minutes seem hours

I'm trying to get my head

Around this moment


My heart rate increases

I feel I am shaking

My cigarette burning

I'm yearning the safety of home

Warm cozy bed

To rest my head


I put my shoes on

And then begin to move

I'm not thinking straight

I'm all over the place


I cross the road and I'm

Caught in the mad machines headlights

Beacons of light that draw

Pedestrians to their death

Only a stone's throw from their graves

My heart beats so fast


A drunk lumbers past me

Imitating the over flow

Imitating my uneasy steps

His adrenalin flows

As I come towards him

Cold and grey like I he don't run

Just trying to get
