[Chorus: Turquoise Prince] Faces in the crowd Swaying on the floor Posing me a question I cannot ignore Longing for euphoria Puts me in the wrong Tryna escape but the hold is just too strong [Verse 1: Solo] I got a splitting headache Temples throbbing and my mouth is cotton Can’t believe I went and did this shit again Drinking liquor till it send me in a spin and then I Wake up in the morning, living in a world of pain Wasteland—see round here we do this every weekend Dead of winter, silly season, we can always find a reason And I never seem to learn from my mistakes Moderate the intake I swear by now I’ve died a thousand deaths this way Way back before this Horrorsquad shit ever shit was poppin’ off I was working overtime at the bottle shop Every day I’d see the same faces clocking off Shuffle in, shuffle out, paper bag, on the grog It made me wonder, what is it that we’re switching on and off When we listen to our inner monologue? What is it we looking for that we too scared to find? What is it we don’t wanna see that’s got us getting blind? In this colony of ills To keep it 100-proof, here’s the truth distilled Go and look up the rum corps, you’ll see this ain’t no run of the mill This the land of the lockout and the 6 o’clock swill So what’s the deal? [Chorus: Turquoise Prince] Faces in the crowd Swaying on the floor Posing me a question I cannot ignore Longing for euphoria Puts me in the wrong Tryna escape but the hold is just too strong [Verse 2: Solo] Friday night and we were numbered ‘bout a dozen Too much substance to be saying anything of substance But of course that don’t stop the discussion We buzzing, talking over the top of one other, we bugging When some some youngin in the corner pipes up and says something like ‘I’ma get fucked up tonight’, well alright Spoken like a man on a mission To carry on a great Australian tradition Dunno if I’d call it peer pressure But you know what they say about those birds of a feather, they flock together And I can’t remember the last time I had a night that I can’t remember So a bender is the very first item on the agenda We keep going at this rate, we gon’ detonate ‘I’m just going for one drink’, ‘Yeah whatever mate.’ Won’t you pull yourself together? Yeah, I know you meant well enough, but shit Alcohol is a hell of a drug, got me staring at the... [Chorus: Turquoise Prince] Faces in the crowd Swaying on the floor Posing me a question I cannot ignore Longing for euphoria Puts me in the wrong Tryna escape but the hold is just too strong
