D
Stray cats with fish heads, feeding their litters

G
Feral kids fight over rats, tailed from gutters

D
Bookie mouth brokers, rotten fruit sellers

G
Pickpockets, ghost through the crowd



D
He climbs onto boxes by market stall traders

G
Toothless and gray haired, thousand yard stare

D
He had a vision which broke the receiver

G
Receiving transmission, surface to air



       D           G
Either way, I'm in awe of you

       D             G
Either way, we'll survive

 Conjuring devils, angels and demons
 Only the children see shape to his tone
 Laughing and crying, his song fell upon us
 We buried his treasure along with his bones

 Arms held aloft, away to the sky
 Innocent witness, he testified
 Drained of his purpose, he falls off the quayside
 Absorbed by the ocean, rolled by the tide

 Either way, I'm in awe of you
 Either way, we'll survive
 Either way, I'm in awe of you
 Either way, we'll survive, we'll survive

 Under the power lines which crackle and sparkle
 Under the freeway, now, mostly rubble
 The hungry still gather to fill up with stories
 Of monsters and heroes and men

 Under the stars, which prick us and call us
 Connect us to hope that perfection's within
 Is here on the ground, we're reckless and hopeless
 Damned by the slip of a pen

 Rambling poets, manic with vision
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air

 Rambling poets, manic with vision
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air

 Rambling poets, manic with vision
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air

 Rambling poets, manic with vision
 We are the drivers, yet we feel driven
 Moths in the moonlight, fooled by a flashlight
 Caught in a jam jar, gasping for air
