It's a high beam drive and I think of you sitting at home Your dad's TV Weeks stacked to the window And before I know I just catch your face Washed in a Panadol light I'd let you know that I'd be here That's not my style
And way all up and down the line Standard time, standard time White metal on a wet, black drive They're all calendar days, but you try To break out
And that old best friend Is a Zamel's ad Bleeding ink on wet pavement Or blazing on a model's hand And there's a kind of quiet A fighter jet's applause They're all saw-toothed fragments Scattered in an empty hall
And I'm reminded of a rewinding cassette As tyre rubber comes blooming around your legs And I'm waking up and the sky is pure appliance white A day as true as TV cop flashback
And way all up and down the line Standard time, standard time White metal on a wet, black drive They're all calendar days, but you try To break out
