Love is an Opiate
When evening yawns its way through our greying window
And the shadows of the drawn day assemble on our wall
We discuss our day over dinner, fold clothes or do nothing at all
When we close the dark door against the cold night
And we are spread-out and undone against the sky
No see of troubles can drown the fire raging in our lovers eyes
Love is an Opiate
From our high room we watch the world's slow dissolve
We don't hear the crowds moaning in the hard street
or see them cut down, like a field of harvest wheat
Love is an Opiate

Everybody's Guilty

EVERYBODY’S GUILTY
twelve o’clock just the worst of time
we’re on a long journey down a broken line
cold coming way past mid-night
the bitter hour before the morning light.
We seek the company of criminals and try to survive
It’s a death trap, no one gets out alive,
We spent too many nights in four dollar rooms
as life spun down seamless afternoons
chorus:
everybody’s guilty its a matter of degree
they eat the wounded in this world of thieves x2
2
deep in the street hard men circle their prey
it’s a victimless crime so the social worker say
it all comes down to amorous and greed
you never get what you want only what you need.
Chorus
3
Like insects we are pinned to the wall
there is no escape, no escape at all
if you walk through the flame you’ll always get burned
it’s a deadly lesson that’s never learned

Dead Cafe
Walking down a road that never ends
Through a city of acquaintances, but not friends
There's a crack of light from a barroom door
I smell the burnt out ends of the night before
Chorus
Somebody take me, take me home
I've ben too long walking these streets alone
Come on babe I need a place to rest
If I give you my money would you give me your best
Across the street I can see a dead cafe
With a sign on the window, not open no way
There's a cadaver lying in the entrance hall
And somebody wiping blood off the kitchen wall
Chorus
In an all night bar I watch the people pass by
I see the pocked-marked moon in the burgundy sky
Come the painted morning and the promise of the sun
Hitch up your skirts take the money and run
Chorus

Melbourne
Met her down in Melbourne, sometime ago
She was living fast, I was moving slow.
Met her at a hotel, owned by a woman in red,
She was in need of a doctor but she didn’t have the bread
Chorus
Before you leave, say goodbye,
Couldn’t go on living a lie
I think about every time I see the sky
So bye-bye baby, baby good bye
We made love in the morning and in the shadow of storms
You walls were peeling and your linen was torn.
We made love until the day you turned the key
You didn’t look back when you say goodbye to me
Chorus
Now it’s late in the evening and the guests have all gone
I’m thinking ‘bout you baby and I’m thinking that it’s wrong
I should sleep alone when winters in the trees
I should be breaking in your loving arms like waves upon the seas
Chorus x2

Baby What’s Wrong
It’s late at night and hot air hangs like a dead man
It’s late at night and hot air hangs like a dead man
You’re wearing that dress like you don’t give a damn
You’re wearing red lipstick are you going out tonight?
You’re wearing red lipstick are you going out tonight?
You’re heels are high and you’re looking right
Chorus
Baby, baby what’s wrong with you
Baby, baby what’s wrong with you
Every time I see you baby you’re up to something new
Well you do that shuffle as you walk out the door
Well you do that shuffle as you walk out the door
I got a bad feelin’ my baby don’t love me no more
Chorus x2
