Gravity (2000)
 
Alcohol
I know where I’m going
I’m riding on a train
Down through the town by the parkline station
And out past the porters in the driving rain

And it’s a perfect destination
The weather’s cold and the winter’s hard
Living on drugs and a strong constitution
Where the bad fuckers all come down to the boulevard

Chorus
But out on the roadside I remember us standing there side by side
Hitching rides to a border town
Well you banged you head against the wall til you knocked it down with alcohol
I picked it up when you put it down

I was never really ready
I was never well prepared
Your words on the phone were a shock to my system
And the answers I gave well they weren’t really fair

But it’s a perfect termination
To a painful fucking mess
That one day you’d leave was a foregone conclusion
But it’s a far cry from a simple change of address

Chorus

I made you coffee in the morning
With a pill for the night before
I touched every part of that heart that was beating
And it beats me why you walked out that door

But it was childish adulation
And I was only just a kid
I knew it wrong to believe in your fiction
But I had no choice so I took a chance and I did

Chorus
