about

A song inspired by late nights living above a shop on Ponsonby Road in Auckland.

lyrics

SILHOUETTES

We're lying horizontal in our long narrow room
Watching silhouettes
And your asleep beside me while I'm still wide eyed
Lights from the food bar sign blink thru the blinds

Awake some sort of tension excitement anticipation anticipation
As the lights from the food bar sign blink thru the blinds

It's 3.30 in the morning and I'm still wide eyed
Lights from the food bar sign blink thru the blind
Silhouettes larger than life shapes without detail
Staccato sound of a pinball machine in the background

Awake some sort of tension excitement anticipation anticipation
As the lights from the food bar sign blink thru the blind

Someone is listening in the crowd head in the clouds countdown
Voicing opinions to shape our future pawns on a concrete playground
Push her aside start again look for the years wasted
You'll never know brothers sisters how I spend my time face it...

Awake some sort of tension excitement anticipation anticipation
As the lights from the food bar sign blinks thru the blinds
Lying horizontal in our long narrow room...watching silhouettes
