Footscray Station
As you kissed me under the influence that night
It was Christmas Eve
And you said to me that I was the strangest creature that you had ever seen
We made love on dirty laundry awkwardly listening to David Bowie
And you closed your eyes
And I said goodbye
And all my life I’d never heard a man that can make a guitar sound like the way you can
Oh I saw a cross on the wall
Found myself in St. Vincent’s Hospital
Screaming “I don’t wanna die in this place, don’t wanna leave this world in such a state”
I always knew it was never my fate
Cause the only constant we’ve ever known has been change
And our house got robbed again
They stole Tom’s bike and a GPS
And I’m running home again from Footscray Station
Don’t bother stealing my wallet because I’m still earning minimum wage
Don’t even bother stealing my phone because the screen’s fucked anyway
And everything I ever cared for before was lost in the fires so long ago
When I moved away from home
Ended up on an open road
When you closed the door behind you it sounded like you couldn't wait to leave
Love, I know, I'm not that stupid, please don’t try to patronize me
And you’ve made your bed
Now let her fuck you up in it and fuck you over in it and fuck you around in it
All over and over and over and over again
Now there’s blood on Scott Morrison’s hands
There’s a rally in the city if you wanna meet there
And I’m running as fast as I can to Footscray Station
And the sky is stained by the city, it isn’t pretty but it’s exactly what it deserves [x2]
And our house got robbed again
They stole your phone and the cigarettes from our cozy little nest near Footscray station
Where the walls are paper thin and the trucks are loud so I can sing how I wanna be here more than anything
And then there’s you and Lentils too
