lyrics

I'm the daydreamer who only dreams at night.
I thought of darkness, I thought of spite, It’s a lonely sight
The heart and the fight when she breaks your heart and casts the dice.

It's a fate-filled game we go and play.
The road less traveled leads straight to your grave, you go.
Like the puppets before you. Don't live with regret, live for a second chance.

You never know your luck in a great big city,
where the dames and thugs think that they're pretty.
Go get a job and a Football club,
A wife and child...

I'm a writer typing on metal keys,
It's a soothing way to keep your mind at ease or so they say
That talk is cheap, Apprentice to the art no man can teach.

But you never know your luck in a great big city,
where the dames and thugs think that they're pretty.
Go get a job and a Football club,
A wife and child. You're living your dreams bud'.

You don't ever see me walking around.
Baby you know I don't go to town.
The sad streets of Annerley on apathy
Drink up your liquor and sing some Bobby D.

Pray for me, Mona Lisa.
