Description
One lost in the inebriated blur and stumble through Brisbane's humid fug; the other desperately clinging to the promises of her youth. Behind them both, a child, waiting out his time, watching distantly as his mother is pulled from him in the evening train.
Lyrics
I was waxing lyrical; She turned the volume down. I would pull into shore; She would nearly drown. I was soaked in vinegar; She would weep herself dry. I was pleading my hellos... She said her goodbyes. I was talking the whore house; She was talking of Rome. I yelled 'leave me alone!' She cried 'come home!' I dreamt over asphalt; She dreamed of the sea. I was pleading my hellos... She said goodbye to me. I tried fucking in the light; She didn't want to be seen. Never taint the light that washes our eyes; We are unclean, unclean, unclean. I remained ignorant; She nailed to the door her decree. I was pleading my hellos... She said her goodbyes to me. I can't tell what my dear boy knows. She can't tell if he's in pain. He just shrugs and is lost in the windows, As she's pulled away in the train.
