the band plays on and on
though the audience is gone
and there's no one else around
to hear the next big sound

Going Back To Portland
02:16
|

once again the day is dying slowly
the sun it makes a halo round your hair
once again the sky is turning bloody
wonder what’s been going on up there
wonder how it is i’m gonna tell you
as the sun, it slowly slips away
orange ball of love it sets behind you
i’m choking on the words i've gotta say
i am going back to portland
i am leaving you behind

Government Van
02:24

when the towers sprouted up
and the net was cast across the map
i tried to send you signals
i tried to bridge the gap
when you took me by the hand
and dragged me from the bridges edge
i couldn’t get my mind clear
i guess i loved you then
i’ll tell you everything i know
when you found somebody new
i saw you kiss out on the sand
i stood and watched it happen
like a suit in a government van
i’ll tell you everything i know

Coming Home
02:11
|

lying near the open window
protected by the tv glow
cicadas singing in the moist, cool air
but otherwise it’s still out there
but then the room fills up with light
tonight is gonna be the night
i am coming home
billions of tiny pinpricks
lift me up and don’t let go
wind is whipping up the humid air
wonder how it looks out there
but then the room fills up with light
tonight is gonna be the night
i am coming home

Bass Strait
02:34
|
|||
|
out over open ocean
blue sun-flecked Tasman Sea
dreams are taking on water
where does that leave me?
bursting out of the eastern sky
i can see it in the corner of my eye
melbourne there is
something up there
hovering
i hear the airplane choking
the one-prop engine roar
knuckles white on the throttle
fearing what’s in store
no one’s gonna see that I’m right
and no one’s gonna save my life
melbourne there is
something up there
hovering
