I feel afraid for the first time Something I really believed in But I am a beautiful actress And I play the desperate villain Who sees you here every night Bursting with every kind of... Screaming overture To send me scattering You played it too real For me to believe in So I watch from broken wings every night Company sings, ‘This is your life’ Then you remove me We look down on the night See the hopeful dead Hoping still to die So let them die and leave us alone There’s magic, madness, hellfire and home Straight lines think alike In hopeless parallel And I want the kinda high With a straight line back to hell But you take me breaking up through the shit To the blessed burning orchestra pit

This is the end this was my life And I was the villain the whole time Clutching the earth in the long night And pushing the dirt in my own eyes To watch the people Pangea fill their buckets with sand Look how beautiful, young but stuck on the land And see the delicate islands on the back of our hands? Take them all in a wash of gold, silver, black Back.

Many years ago We get up to dance We are what we are We are love and art We are young at work We are what we are And I’m ok, I guess Everything is true Flowers in their hair We sing never blues We aren’t anywhere And everywhere I go ‘There goes Jake the peg’ ‘I’m not him’, I said Take me down to the docks, Lord, to think on the day God, I hate how we love but love it all the same Be my theatre of war and my war of the rose Cosmos on the shelf Smoke to fucking health And I want to be high And I want to be well To stay back every night After they kill the lights And rethink the lines Take me down to the docks, Lord, to think on the day God, I hate how we love but love it all the same Be my theatre of war and my war of the rose Oh, my theatre of war and my war of the rose Leave me here now to fight, leave me here you can go Oh my theatre of war and my day of the dead.

We are the loved ones Isn't it nice to be home again Look in our eyes says 'barely alive', says, 'busted head' But cross 'ril we callous Lost in the Alice Eden the garden state Luring the lovers, Meek motherfuckers Take what the blue can take. I, broken homer Answer the phone to not a sound Please operator Love is the neighbour I never found And talk me to safety over the great big Blue bottle that I found Into the terra firma of error Call me to keep me down Blue begets blue When you're away Please let me see you I never changed Hate calling you With nothing to say But I'm gonna call you anyway We are the loved ones Isn't it nice when we're all aboard On the pacific Broken, terrific like before Darling, I love you But I can't love you While I am in this mess I'll be alright if I can survive I'll bury your heavy chest Blue begets blue When you're away Please let me see you I never changed Hate calling you With nothing to say But I'm gonna call you anyway Oh anyway Oh anyway Anyway

Left the silence dead in the room Awake to be awake like we do To be Lazarus, an honest man’s son But with blood on my brain I’ll lie ’til it’s done And sweet, the hand of love on the night With all the ancient fathers in line And sweeter still, the morning that comes Over the hill and back to their sons Stay by my side, I’m lonely as you War is over, like we wanted Who do we fight? War is over, we were soldiers Who do we fight? Sun is searing, oh my dear-ing, low in the sky Who do we fight? I am all I said I would be Everything, the world at my feet But you can’t defend yourself from the truth Turning again with blood in your boots Stay by my side, I’m lonely as you War is over, like we wanted Who do we fight? War is over, we were soldiers Who do we fight? Sun is searing, oh my dear-ing, low in the sky Who do we fight? A lie has a life in the theatre A lie is a life if you want it My bonnie lies over the ocean War is over, like we wanted Who do we fight? War is over, we were soldiers Who do we fight? War is over!

It’s amazing that we thought We could love like we love and carry on Today, tomorrow; little lies The hardest hearts not to break are the ones you take for a ride Everything is change Nothing’s as it used to be Never known a place Where a stranger’s who I choose to be Alone is alive on the road to St. Ives Back where I come from a song About a man with seven wives leading seven lives goes on and on When did I speak from the heart? The hardest answer to you is the one we knew from the start Everything is change Nothing’s as it used to be Never known a place Where a stranger’s who I choose to be Alone is alive on the road to St. Ives And in the Ives, alone alive Without a worry or a care And see to find, the road is lined With ghost gums hanging in the air Everything is as it was! Nothing ever changed, darling and the day is lost Alone is alive on the road to St. Ives A moment is mine for a day at a time Alone is alive on the road to St. Ives A moment is mine for a day at a time Alone is alive on the road to St. Ives The burst of a bind when the ghost gums align

Isn’t it madness? Isn’t it crazy? All God’s children standing together And waiting for no one And where’s Mother Courage and all of her children? Running and howling Singing, ‘I lost everything, but I found miracles,’ ‘So come and hold your breath alone with me’ When we fell down the garden well Not a soul was left to save us Not William or Michael William or Michael William or Michael William or Michael Isn’t it crazy? All God’s children asking for answers And looking for nothing? And where’s Mother Courage and all of her children? Whooping and crying Singing, ‘We are in the world, but we’re not of the world,’ ‘So commandeer the breath in here for me’ When we fell down the garden well Not a soul was left to save us Not William or Michael We payed for the friends we made Now for all the blessed waves We will wait for the feeling Wait for the feeling (I lost everything) Wait for the feeling (we are in the world) Wait for the feeling

The long day was ended With us on the docks, home to dread them The poets wrote the brave will return from the grave But I felt dead then A lie splits the ground I remember that sound from the Bible It burns in my mind, try to leave it behind With my idols The look on the long day From wrong eyes the wrong way, caught glances And I start to shiver and look to a river For answers I lay down in the river Just to lose my bearings there I couldn’t see or stand Feel the silver beneath the sand ’Til she slipped it back in my hand I wanna love like the movies And burn through the ruby some Christmas And lay on the Kalgan, circling lazy without them Forever I filled my lungs with water I lost my baby there I couldn’t understand There was silver beneath the sand ’Til she slipped it back in my hand She knows much more then anything I tried to giver her We sit, silver in hand, look back at the land from the river From the river From the river

We lost our minds there Lying in the dirt And every blessed wave moved through us from the earth So I believe I love you You say, ‘a busted brain can lie’ But everything is lying here ‘cept you and I All our days have ended up as buckets of sand And you’re the only island on the back of my hand Goodbye Gondwana, sorry Father Kiss the ground Goodbye Gondwana, hold me harder Split the ground, let the dead man down Look over this way For a second look at me Isn’t it crazy, madness; where are we? And every day is killing us We’re in palaces of blue But darling there’s a lot of dying left to do All our days have ended up as buckets of sand And you’re the only island on the back of my hand Goodbye Gondwana, sorry Father Kiss the ground Goodbye Gondwana, hold me harder Split the ground, let the dead man down Dive in, feel numb Let the current lead you on Drip dry, clean up Sing the songs he left us Every great mandala back to buckets of sand And you’re the only island on the back of my hand Goodbye Gondwana, sorry father Kiss the ground Goodbye Gondwana hold me harder Kiss the ground Goodbye Gondwana, sorry father Split the ground, let the dead man down Kiss the ground, let the dead man down Split the ground, let the dead man down Gotta lotta dyin left to do Gotta lotta dyin Gotta lotta dyin left to do Gotta lotta dyin Gotta lotta dyin left to do Gotta lotta dyin...
