The body struggles in the morning (It creaks and groans - its deathly moans) I put my pants on in the hallway And leave you sleeping off last night’s demons Over the Cape the sun it rises (The skies they warn, there might be storms) I leave a note beside the kettle I know the third thing you’ll do when you wake up At night I sit and wonder if there’s still wonder in this world You break to distant thunder and strip naked and go dance outside and hope for rain I go to work but I’m barely breathing (Tonight I think, we could sure use a drink) The body struggles in the morning But in the evening we dance like damned children At night I sit and wonder if there’s still wonder in this world I hear a clap of thunder and strip naked and go dance outside and hope for rain And pray the rains, will wash away All the misspent dreams of another day While the mud between our toes Will remind me of the life we chose And your holy, healing hands, I’ll hold in mine As we go in search of long, lost time At least your heart, still has a light Which will guide me through the darkest hour of the darkest night

When’s my luck gonna run on out x2 I ain’t got no rabbits foot no horses shoe Gotta give it everything I’ve got x 2 Gonna wring it out and hang it up Doesn’t really matter anyway x2 We all roll the dice We’re gonna make the play Let’s all just have a drink and sing cos it ain’t that bad Don’t wanna be a broken record x 2 Better dust it off and turn it up Really wanna keep it spinning round x 2 I like the way you show your age There’s probably a better way x 2 But if it’s easier Wouldn’t wanna be ya! Let’s all just have a drink and sing cos it ain’t that bad

Well, the Drunk and the Silhouette Do pirouettes round the lounge room And sing sad songs at the top of their lungs And let tall tales drip from the tip of their tongues And the Ghost of Memory Like uninvited family Comes round to visit late at night To sprinkle his bullshit and start up a fight But the Drunk and the Silhouette Only get caught up in thoughts of all that was good And they fall into each other’s arms And weep like any other grown man would It’s the older you get and the closer to Death Well, it brings out the best and the worst Least the more you forget The less you regret and the less that it hurts Till you wake up in the morning feeling twice as worse Well, the Drunk and the Silhouette Quit cigarettes and light up cigars And reflect on loves from the past But it ends with cramps in a lukewarm bath And the Ghost of Here-and-Now Arrives late and takes a bow And he speaks of dreams that are fading from view But he’s got more wine, so they pull up a pew Well, the Drunk and the Silhouette Only get caught up in thoughts of all that is good And they fall into each other’s arms And weep like any other grown man should It’s the older you get and the closer to Death Well, it brings out the best and the worst Least the more you forget The less you regret and the less that it hurts When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free

It’s an itty-bitty ray of sunshine But it brightens up the day Well, maybe things will get better Or maybe nothing will change Oh, how about this weather? It looks like rain’s on its way Aw, yesterday’s dirty dishes Still lay piled beside the sink Is there much on the telly? Well, I need something so I won’t think This boy craves affection But Holy Moses! Heartache holds him at bay The Ghost of Memory like falling embers Alights then dies and leads my heart astray It’s an itty-bitty ray of sunshine But it brightens up the whole day Well, maybe things will get better Or maybe fuck-all will change Oh, think of the children: In golden slumbers they lay

A black mirror and a bottle of gin Empty on the bedroom floor There’s still music bleeding into the room And an endless banging at the door Are you in love with the common features? Just between you and I These are things that nobody teaches: How to hold onto the truth in a lie By the starlight and moonbeams, As fingers trace the hems of sweet dreams, Are you dying to live but feeling more dead than alive? St Anthony is lost in the woods He has no wi-fi or reception A figure lurking in the shadows draws near With an offer of a shot at redemption Are you in love with the modern features – Dancing on the edge of a knife? These are heights that nobody reaches: How do you hold onto the good things in life? By the starlight and moonbeams, As fingers trace the hems of sweet dreams, Are you dying to live but feeling more dead than alive? A thousand kisses for a thousand lies A thousand more ways that the heart slowly dies A breathless morning neath the sweaty sheets Listen to the thump, thumping of heartbeats A thousand kisses for a thousand lies A thousand more ways that the heart slowly dies A breathless morning neath the sweaty sheets Oh, listen to the thump, thumping of heartbeats And a thousand sighs A thousand sighs Yeah, a thousand sighs A thousand sighs
