Must be 35 degrees outside
Blinds drawn, clock says half past five
I’m not playing dead, and I’m too old to hold my breath
no tears were shed, I swam in rivers instead
Out there, over the ocean
Sometimes, maybe I can hear you
Sighing at the stars, as they drift up off the ocean
Or maybe in a bar, sipping on your poison
I heard an older man once say
Love like a bird flies away
Last time I saw it it was thumbing a ride
But I was going the other way
And out there on the western highway
Cars drift out of the horizon
Oh out into the blue,
Driving with their lights on
Oh out into the blue
I’m so tired of loving you.
I heard an older man once say
Love like a bird flies away
Last time I saw it it was thumbing a ride
But I was going the other way

The girls were singing along to a Kanye West song
hanging out of the car, screaming at the stars
The speedo was dialling up, think I was spooked by a truck
I didn't lay any rubber down I heard it later from the crown
I don't remember, I can't recall
I have bad dreams if I sleep at all
Silverwater Long Bay, such pretty names
On Fridays in my town everyone is down
at the Railway or the Royal; to whichever they are loyal
If I'm going to go out, I'm careful who's about
you know alcohol is a breech of my parole
The judge was gentle, but young folks died
They're going to need a tooth for that eye
Silverwater Long Bay, such pretty names
I could not look them in the eye
surely heard them softly cry
Silverwater Long Bay
Such pretty names
