Walking back to my house the morning after the sugar cube and the heavens opened up and drowned the heat With the trace elements tickling my spine, I took my shoes off and danced in puddles on the sudden downpour ghost town street Hello, my name is Wil and I slept through the millennium but what I wouldnt give to be young, dreaming and ten again Its New Years 2009, with whats in my system I wont be sleeping for a long time And when I was a boy, I thought I was a fish and I still love the ocean like when I was a kid But lately I have come to the conclusion, that Im disappointingly probably human And Ive come a long way from those amphibious days and Id like to thank the things Ive seen, the friends that Ive made All the people that have hurt me, the times that Ive been saved and to music, which has made me its most obliging slave Theres blood on this guitar, theres sweat between these keys, when I step forward to the mic its with my tail between my knees But we arent here to fight, we are here to dance And then the summer crept up like only a Melbourne summer can We ducked back in our alleys and pretended to hate our tans And told each other one day, wed all look back and smile While knowing that weve been drinking ourselves to sleep for a long time And now were back at work and were working on those numbers Theyre getting us in our sleep, were having nightmares in our slumber About the dealers and the overheads were going to have to pay Just pass out. Its a job for another day And last night I kissed a girl that I met in a bar, which seems momentous given how things are We made out all morning then slept in the afternoon and she said, Wil, I think that I can deal with you. And I never found the right way to say thanks to Alex for keeping my head screwed on For telling me when I was wrong, even though Ive known all along Its time to clean up, start a band, get back on the road again. Stay sober and appreciate my friends So Id like to say thank you to every single one of you for everything
wil, slept, back, disappointingly, thank
