lyrics

another hot day
i look out over the tiles
cracked and dirty
and the crows
perched, still
on the fence

upstairs
the neighbour's girl starts crying loudly
the crow flies
her father is tying bird nets
over the strawberries
waiting for it to end

i have drifted away
but i'm coming back
day by day

feeding stale bread
to the ducks
and the turtles
and the lizards
though the sign says "do not"

our ankles
itchy and red
from mosquito bites

i have drifted away
but i'm coming back
day by day

at the scummy end of the creek
where everything lives
i came back from the dead
and carried you home on my shoulders
