North Melbourne

(album: Speeding - 2017)

Friday every night, baby
Inner torment our minds, baby
We getting old and getting wise, baby
Young like a second wife, baby
She drop it low to stay warm, she got nothing on
North Melbourne at a party or the sunshine
In the studio, tryna make a summer song
But winter's dark and long and all the colour's gone
We drink cone to cone (Drinking)
We doing shit that no-one knows (No-one knows)
Blow it 'til we overblown, yeah, dose 'til we overdose
Wearing all black, rest in peace, Jonah Lomu
Yeah, I might say I won't but you know I'm going to
Better get them fingers rolling
On a tram with a junkie sitting on it

If I'm tripping, you won't say I'm tripping
North Melbourne girls go crazy, oh
A very strange young lady, ooh
These North Melbourne girls go crazy, oh
They're tripping on, tripping on, tripping on, tripping on you

Cheap wine for the lost souls
Don't wait, drink it straight from the bottle
Okay, sweet 'em all, like Stockholm
This is our city, not yours
Medication for your trepidation, yeah
Love was murdered by our generation
We're so, we're so late and the night is young
We can die waiting for our time to come
So lose yourself, but not too much
If there are lies, it's not true love
Everybody someone else, we doing us
Everybody doing us, we doing us
So fuck are y'all saying? Fuck are y'all taking?
Go to your parties, drink your liquor, steal your honeys

If I'm tripping, you won't say I'm tripping
North Melbourne girls go crazy, oh
A very strange young lady, ooh
These North Melbourne girls go crazy, oh
They're tripping on, tripping on, tripping on, tripping on you

We go together like chips and seagulls
In the sand with rubbish and needles
We were in her vehicle driving across the night
That was right before I lost my mind
She told me don't stress so much
We're smokers, stoners
Hold me if I'm dying, I better be overdosing

If I'm tripping, you won't say I'm tripping
North Melbourne girls go crazy, oh
A very strange young lady, ooh
These North Melbourne girls go crazy, oh
They're tripping on, tripping on, tripping on, tripping on you
