Perth

Not of this world
Lean as a shadow
I was in Perth
When I was gathered
Blood on the sand
Paint on the water
I skipped around
Asking for you
Last night I combed the earth
You saw me at my worst
Ragged tire burning for miles
I ran until it hurt
Reasons come seasonal
I'll tell you when I know
See you in an hour, an hour back home
See you in an hour, an hour back home
See you in an hour, an hour back home
See you in an hour, an hour back home
