Footscray Station (acoustic)

Intro: verse 1 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 verse 2 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 verse 3 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 verse 4 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 Now 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 Verse 5 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 skyyyy is stained by the city, it isn’t pretty but it’s exactly what it deserves And the skyyyy is stained by the city, it isn’t pretty but it’s exactly what it deserves Verse 6 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
