Black the sky
Weapons fly
Lay them waste for your race

Wish Away Each Day

I never want to be old and I don’t want dependence
It’s no fun to be told that you can’t blame your parents anymore

I’m finding it hard to hang from a star
I don’t want to be—I never want to be old

Sullen and bored the kids stay and in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play and in this way wish away each day

I don’t really know if I care what is normal
I’m not really sure if the pills I’ve been taking are helping

The waste in my life—
I’m hurting inside—
I don’t really know, and I’m not really sure

Sullen and bored the kids stay and in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play and in this way wish away each day

The Fever Pushing the Day By

I pull off the road east of Baldock and Ashford
Feeling for my cell in the light from the dashboard

Hissing from the road, the smell of rain in the air-con
Maybe check the news or just put a tape on

Lighting up a smoke
I’ve got this feeling inside me, it don’t feel too good

If I close my eyes and fell asleep in this layby, would it all subside: the fever pushing the day by?

Motor-window wind, I could do with some fresh air
Can’t breathe too well

I guess I should go now—
She’s waiting to make up, to tell me she’s sorry, and how much she missed me
—I guess I’m just burnt out
I really should slow down
I’m perfectly fine, but I just need to lie down—

We will grow old together

She waits for me
