lyrics

Swinging like the gum trees flinging round my window
Give it one more push and I might fall
Never felt the carpet slip out from below
And I thought that I would always have it all

I felt I was on a road that ran out from my sight
And I saw everyone I know crossing a bridge too wide
And in a hasty mess I jumped around and up and down
They just passed me off as some old clown

Frozen like a portrait locked within a basement
Where the thrown out clocks would sit and sigh
Televisions talking, cigarettes all sing
And I felt so sad and lonesome I could cry

We've been taking photos of the shiny plastic
That had washed ashore some time ago
As you turned he saw you take your eyes away
And he left you as he yelled "I told you so!"
