|
Waiting upstate in the pines |
|
There's a man |
|
Whose arms are twisted round the vines |
|
Looking out for her to show |
|
But she's late |
|
The sound of the crickets all around |
|
In the heat |
|
In the heat |
|
They say you'll sell your body to the heat |
|
So he takes his muslin bag |
|
To the well |
|
Runs his fingers through his hair |
|
He's unwell |
|
Then the sea comes into view |
|
And he moves downhill |
|
Meets his car down by the bay |
|
Drives away |
|
Chorus |
|
Come on now - gotta take it in your stride... |
|
Well a fugitive can run but he can't hide |
|
Nothing happens in the town |
|
Nothing moves |
|
A lone mosquito settles down |
|
On a shoe |
