Call me hypocrite
Call me filthy Liar
Tell me something baby
Aint you never changed your mind
Call me fallen angel
I'm flying through the fire
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, has fallen down to the ground
Halo, has fallen off of your angel
Cos you've been messing around
Living under cover of a mask
How long you think this shit is gonna last
Your demons living in the future
Your conscience living in the past
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, fallen down to the ground
Halo, fallen off of your angel
Cos you've been messing around
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, has fallen down to the ground
Halo, your Halo
Call me hypocrite
Call me filthy Liar
Tell me something baby
Aint you never changed your mind
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, has fallen down to the ground
Halo, has fallen off of your angel
Cos I've been messing around
Halo...

Last drinks of the season
Getting away with it isn’t a reason
In the dark at the fueling station
Invisible messiah on trial for treason
Last taste of the broken horizon
Getting away with it isn’t a prize I want
In the dark, in the park alone
Like a lost dog chasing an invisible bone
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be that kind of man no more
It seems at last the rains have come
Gonna take my little boat out to the eye of the storm
Last day at the races
The last ticket holders have taken their places
Waiting at the gate with your straight laced date
Picking up the pieces of your last disgraces
Last dance with the traitor
Knife in the back for the instigator
Chained to the fence with a short range lens
Dancing in a circle with an Alligator
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be that kind of man no more
It seems at last the rains have come Gonna take my little boat out to the eye of the storm
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be be that man no more (x 2)
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be that kind of man no more
It seems at last the rains have come
Gonna take my little boat out to the eye of the storm (x 2)

Everything is coloured
By a chemical flood
Chemicals that drive our lust
Traveling down those highways of blood
Everything is changing
I can't hear a single word you say
Because I'm breathing through the gauze
Of a chemical stingray
Rain, sweet chemical rain
Dripping down my dirty old window pane
Blood, sweet chemical blood
Flowing like a river all inside of my veins
Everyone is sleeping
Deep in a chemical dream
Underground in a deep dark cave
On a raft on a chemical dream
Blue lights will mark my return
Chemical rain will stain my memories
Your love will cool me when I burn
Oh cos when I burn I've got the..
Rain, sweet chemical rain
Dripping down my dirty old window pane
Blood, sweet chemical blood
Flowing like a river all inside of my veins
Rain, sweet chemical rain
Dripping down my dirty old window pane
Love, sweet chemical love
Flowing like a river all inside of my veins

I want to tell you
But I've got dirt on the tip of my tongue
I don't want to hurt you
I just want to break every one of your toys
I want to believe you
But all your lies seem to be choking my airways
I don't want to defeat you
There's just one thing that I want you to do
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space
Trying to see you Is making me blind with confusion and lies
I don't want to free you
I just want to mess with the secrets inside
So much for dreaming
The trouble I find is distorting my mind
I don't want to be king
There's just one thing that I'm trying to do
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space

Got to get up early in the morning
Just to get me what I need
I feel the sunlight on the back of my hands
I feel the emptiness recede
Oh muma, these boots don't fit me no more
And I'm so tired of walking home
You've been crying but I don't know what for
Cos you don't need to be alone
Won't you say you'll meet me on the morning
We'll throw away the chains of yesterday's lies
I've got to see you cos I've got to let you know
You're always perfect in my eyes
Oh honey, this suit don't fit me no more
I'm taking off my dirty clothes
We've been crying but I don't know what for
Cos we don't need to be alone
If some consequence comes down upon me now
I'll try to take it in my stride
Some consequence may make a fool of me
But I'll be a fool in love, a fool is always free
Got to get up early in the morning
Just to get me what I need
I feel the sunlight on the back of my hand
I feel the emptiness recede
Oh muma, these boots don't fit me no more
And I'm so tired of walking home
You've been crying but I don't know what for
Cos we don't need to be alone

I could have sworn I heard a tune
Coming from the river's edge
And blowing 'cross them old sand dunes
Beneath the shifting rhythms of the moon
I could have sworn the voice was yours
Black feathers falling from the sky
I should have known the choice was yours
Just as I know the choice us mine
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly my way
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly today
Do not fear the lake my love
Fear not the devils hand
I'll re-arrange the stones for you
Down upon the shifting desert sands
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly my way
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly today
I could have sworn I heard a tune
Coming from the river's edge
And blowing 'cross them old sand dunes
Beneath the shifting rhythms of the moon
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly my way
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly today

Singing to the barman
In a one-horse town out west
I always thought I'd be a big rock star
Lord knows I've done my nest
You walked into the room
And whispered sweetly in my ear
Got any Chisel?
It's all I want to hear
Well I've been playing shit-hole pubs
For most my life
I never could feed my seventeen kids
Or please my lovely wife
But when you whispered in my ear
Suddenly it became quite clear
I'm gonna have to make another plan
Fuck it man, I'm gonna learn Khe Sanh
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
It's really got me worried
I'm going nowhere in a hurry
The last plain out of Sydney's almost gone
I tried to be a hipster in the city
Cowboy shirts and lonesome hurts
Oh man I looked so pretty
I even got a spin on Triple J
But I'm still stuck on the western highway
Looking for another dive to play
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
It's really got me worried
I'm going nowhere in a hurry
The last plain out of Sydney's almost gone (x 2)

As I wake in the morn a new life is born
And although I'm not driving it I'm surviving and arriving
At a new destination, and to think I ever underestimated
The power and love related to me
By the powers that be You see,
It's all good it's all love and it's coming for free
So I'm looking through the eye of a new sunrise
And I'm seeing things in people and I never realised
That we're walking hand in hand, whether we like it or not
Upon a beautiful land and it's the only thing we've got
So this feeling I'm gonna channel straight into a track And get back, Back before the days of gunga and smack
Back before the days of losing myself from the void
I'm coming back from the chasm with a lyrical orgasm
Cos I'm living in a dream with a lyrical machine
Pumping out a steady stream if you know what I mean
Well do you know what I mean
I've just gotta get up and speak it
I don't feel the need to scream
just gotta speak before I freak it
I'm a light sleeper
Deep dreamer
Light sleeper
No rest for the wicked, at least that's what they say
Just can't seem to shut out the thoughts of the day
Or the days gone by or the days to come for everyone
You know the drill, your born, you reform
You learn to love and trust, you learn to hate and kill
You learn to procreate, and still you desire to build an empire
Or self destruct at will
But time is short Time is running out
In the blink of an eye your whole life's blown by
And every idea is like a new career
Spinning out of control, with no way to steer yourself
Out of the confusion and fear Out of the confusion and fear
I'm a light sleeper
Deep dreamer
Light sleeper
Deep dreams
Light sleeper
Deep dreamer
Light sleeper (Deepen the plank, you gotta deepen the plank) I'm a light sleeper
Deep dreamer
Light sleeper
Deep
