lyrics

Song words:

Have a look at this picture under the light
Of an empty block with the weeds head high
The yellow builder's sand in a conical pile
The heavy air muffling your mind
And the lupins tall and serpentine

If we restore this black Commodore
Would the cassette deck still work?
And if it did what's the first thing you'd look for:
Jack and Diane?
Steve Miller Band?
Cowgirl in the Sand?
Or Starman?

Is this the same town?
Kind of, kind of not
What makes you feel like it's changed?
All of these cranes covering the sky
The houses all fashionable grey
The security lights all clicking outside
Keeping you awake

But you still get this prickling homecoming heat
Trapped inside the sweat between the hairs behind your knees
Flat on your stomach when you are half asleep
Your limbs are at rest and your mind is replete
