Would like to live a minute in my head?
Where love is damned, and my spirit’s dead.
Would you like to live a minute in my head?
Where time is treasure and patience forced with might,
Always remembered as the wolf that has no bite.
So would you like to live a minute?
Would you like to live a minute, dear?
Even only for an instant.
Come on in and take a souvenir.
Would you like to live a minute (in my head),
Yeah would you like to live a minute (in my head),
So go on and grab a ticket, here’s your chance to come on in and peer.
Would you like to live a minute in my fucking...

I’ve been here before, but I can’t see your face.
As I’m shunted towards twilight, on roads I’ve crawled before,
My knees are bruised and battered – my palms are gravel worn.
I’ve been here before, but I can’t see your face.
And when I waltz into this wasteland with these veteran feet,
Will you meet me in the middle, and fill my hollow-cheeks? - ‘cause I’m so tired,
Yes I’m worn,
Yeah I’m fucked.
So please save me from my darkness,
Save me from my grit,
Save me from my clutches ‘cause I’m afraid I’ll never learn to let go of all my dreaming,
Let go of all I want,
Let go of all my demons that taunt me as I’m sinking deeper into the hole you’ve led me,
Into your great mystique,
Deep into your quicksand soul that strangles all my sanity.
‘cause when I die I want to be remembered by more than just my kin,
So save me some life and breathe into my soul,
Spare me the journey because I’m only getting older.
Yeah I’ve been here before but I can’t see your face.

You Can Do It

The vision that lingers stalking me to death,
The mirage, the glimmer, the itch that never ends.
You can do it - save me from myself.
Sometimes the suburbs strip me back and scream,
We’re all drifting guilty, lost within a dream.
The scarecrows they sit back and snicker at my growl, helping the old dogs slug me with a scowl.
You can do it - rip my ribs apart,
You can do it - mend this waning heart,
You can do it - hide me from myself,
You can do it.
My love shakes like thunder,
The desperate – the dumber,
So lust me, bare-naked and burn with me before I’m wasted.
You can do it - rip these ribs apart,
You can do it - mend my waning heart,
You can do it - save me from myself,
You can do it.

Here, in the “meantime”, you float within my skew,
Lost of all your wisdom,
Just another pup that’s destined for a slaying - courtesy of hope.
Don’t fret for a second, I’ll start soft and ease in slowly.
Yeah, I’m only happy when I sing this song,
Yeah, So fill me up with plastic trophies.
When a servant turns into a chief, the congregate will clamour, throw their stones and prod their pitchforks.
Spare me comfort when the crown falls off, and I’m left naked, frozen out and tossed.
I’ll know to bring my rope, and dress all-dapper.
Yeah, I’m only happy when I sing this song,
Yeah, I’m only laughing when I sing this song,
Yeah, so fill me up with plastic trophies.
I’m the tumour in your gut,
The dagger in your kidneys,
The apple you can’t stop to feed off.
Yeah, I’m only happy when I sing this song,
Yeah, I’m only laughing when I sing this song,
Yeah, so fill me up with plastic trophies.
So you want to drown with all your friends?
Let me help you drown with all your friends.

Why’d you have to go and wash your hands,
Now what’s left for us to wrestle with in this old land?
Oh we’ve been working hard for the girl.
Remember when the summer never came?
We went hunting shadows in a blackened daze.
Oh we were working hard for the girl.
Doused in all the bullshit in this world,
Hauled like a puppet on a string,
But fuck I’d do it all again.
Yeah I’d take one more kick if it meant we would ride on out just like suburban renegades – twisting the arms of anyone who’d come our way.
But if you’ve noticed, we’re two sad brothers in protest.
What’s been lost will only give you tears,
Always on the hunt for those glory years.
Slowly chip away at regret whilst you’re wearing me as a vest,
Downing all the guilt for myself, ‘cause we’ve been working hard that girl.
Come give it one more shake on the dance floor,
Soothsaying sharks are here with their wisdom,
Lace up your gloves and sway with their rhythm,
Yeah I have noticed the bruise on your forehead,
So here’s my flag - dressed white by concession,
Just give me one more year of obsession.
This blinkered arson needs your assistance to help put out a fire.
When the dust sets upon your frame,
Will you find yourself thinking in a different way?
Yeah we were working hard for the girl,
Eating all the bullshit in this world,
Dragged like a puppet on a string,
But fuck I’d do it all again.
My friend, would you do it all again?
