Brother Lyrics by Mark Seymour

The Boxer

0

Brother can you tell me
Where our innocence has gone?
The charms of youth are fading
The crowds are movin’ on
I know you tried to rescue me
But got the message wrong
I’m older and wiser now
And the lyin’ winds are long
I’m in need of comfort
I’ve been prayin’ in the dark
Callin’ out sweet Lazarus
Where did you get your spark?
I turned your bed of roses down
And laid them at your feet
Time changes nothin’ for the beggar on your street
I am your humble servant
Your Abel to my Cain
Blood as thick as water
Let me raise my glass again
I swear the fire is still in my blood
A rage I can’t deny
I’m runnin’ out of reasons
While I drain your river dry
Stayin out of trouble
It never bothered me
Try to squeeze my attitude
Into your fantasy
We’ve seen this fight so many times
You can never make ends meet
Time changed nothin’ when you’re livin’ on the street
Have you ever seen beggars in the street?
Lyin’ in the road, livin’ in defeat
Scratchin’ at the ground
Cryin’ out for love
Cryin’ out for love
Brother can you steel yourself?
Forgive me for my crime
The naked truth was heaven sent
Like water into wine
Excuse my behaviour
While I’m runnin’ out the door
The call of nature once again
The crowd cried out for more
Innocence is in my blood
A rage I can’t deny
Drive me to excuses
While I drain your river dry
Oh how we complain so well
But we never knew defeat
Time changes nothin’
When you’re livin’ on the street
Have you ever seen beggars in the street?
Lyin’ in the road, livin’ in defeat
Scratchin’ at the ground
Cryin’ out for love
Cryin’ out for love
