Hanging out down by the lake

I've got a pocket full of Dollars ,but it won't buy change

Cracking a "For heaven's sake"

It won't send me any help coz I've forsaken my faith

For money and gold

Hanging out down by the lake

I can almost sense it's mother's heartache

Dusk seems a little drunk

A flat footed shuffle and a listless funk

As it blankets the lake with gold

Like cinnamon, like silver, we could never have beaten the law

Pepper and coffee in our red,red wine

All the shit that we fall for

It just sounds so much better

The stories and the colours make life worth living for

Hanging around with my friends

I can be myself no need to pretend

Cracking a smile at the corner of our mouth's

A beautiful day in our home down South

Egoli

The city of gold

Like cinnamon, Like silver we never could have beaten the law

Pepper and coffee in our red, red wine

All the shit that we fall for

Four leaf clovers and a rusted horseshoe

Superstitions galore

Santa Clause and the holy lore

All the things that man adores

They just sound so much better

The stories and the colours make life worth living for

Like cinnamon, like silver we never could have beaten the law Pepper and coffe in our red, red wine

All the shit that we fall for

It just sounds so much better the stories and the colours make life worth living for

Hanging out down by the lake
