Walking down my block
A book of nerves - so shell shocked
Fingers tied in knots
Jigsaw puzzles - xmas smells - like time forgot
That's how it goes - down the stairs to the stars
and the harbour lights listening to faraway cars
Faraway cars

Empty bottles in the yard
grass so soft - ground's so hard
hovering fast - like WASPS to a cast
and nothing's last ......
That's how it goes - down the stairs to the stars
and the harbour lights listening to faraway cars
Faraway cars

It's the same old story
looking for the glory
you never taking the steps
over pastel bricks - cultured trees
souvenirs of a gentry dream
That's how it goes - down the stairs to the stars
and the harbour lights listening to faraway cars
Faraway cars
