lyrics

A kid rides his bike across Acland Street, he’s eating a pie and has pie on his face
I feel like that kid and I wish I could meet you, tonight by some palm tree or some sacred place

Where’s the kid going? He’s going so fast, I’m going in circles, I’m hoping
To find a hot shower to wash myself clean, I’m dirty but really I’m coping

Where are you? Where are you? Why aren’t you here? I’m looking, I’m calling, I’m crawling
The barbed walls of December to reach a new year, In my heart it is raining, it’s pouring

The old man is missing his twelve month gone wife, They were married for sixty-five winters
He’s cooking for the first time in his life but the kitchen still smells of her cinders

I’m writing, I’m dancing, I’m traveling awhile, I’m eating myself, I’m so starving
I’m looking inside and outside for my smile, For my teeth in my arm I am carving

Self-portraits and nudes with rubbery tits, the faces of kids and some scars
To find coloured scrapings and precious bits of pie of yesterday’s stars
Bit’s of pie yesterday’s stars, bits of pie of yesterday’s stars
