Lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame

From the mountain tops down to the sunny street
A different drum is playing a different kind of beat
It's like a mystery that never ends
I see you crying and I want to kill your friends

Chorus:
I hear your footsteps in the street
It won't be long before we meet
It's obvious
Just count me in and count me out and
I'll be waiting for the shout
Oblivious..

Met mo and she's okay, said no-one really changed
Got different badges but they wear them just the same
But down by the ballroom I recognized that flaming fountain
In those kindered caring eyes

Chorus

I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless
I hope it hits you when you go
And sometimes on the edge of sleeping
It rises up to let me know it's not so deep
I'm not so slow

They're calling all the shots, they'll call and say they phoned
They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone
And like a funny film, it's kinda cute
They've bought the bullets and there's no-one left to shoot

Chorus
