lyrics

CHORUS
So tell me, a story that relates to mine and helps me understand oh why these memories, come haunt me when you're gone,
So tell me, how am I suppose to breathe when I am always watching you leave,
Unease, the dark before the dawn.

So take me, away from here,
Where the skies are clear and the girls beer,
The world isn't so far gone,
So haze me, and make me fear,
As I lie in my bed with thoughts in my head,
That the dark is watching me,

So tell me bout the birds and bees and how to take the salt from sea,
I wanna live in perfect matrimony with a girl from Greece,
Show me how to pan for gold and live on smokes and rock and roll,
Hard earned starts and bleeding hearts the stories that should be told,

CHORUS

So chase me, and make me sweat,
As the flags crash down as we win the crown,
Flashing lights you never forget,
You love me, and hate me say,
We scream and shout and you kick me out,
Only to come running again,

Oh Humpty oh he always fell and treated guards like they were hell,
But they still picked him up and helped him when he broke his shell,
So teach me how to live alone and dance to punk and rock and roll,
Hard earned starts and bleeding hearts the stories that should be told,

CHORUS

Melt a little chocolate with your mind,
Catching piranhas with cheese and wine,
Lace up my boots and drift away,
These are the stories that fill my day,

CHORUS

about

At The Dakota image

At The Dakota Darwin, Australia

Hailing from tropical Darwin, indie-groovepop band At The Dakota have established themselves as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Northern Territory with their addictive pop sensibilities and hooky, quirky lyrics and melodies.

A 5-piece comprising laidback lads from the Top End, their songs are unapologetically groovy, and refreshingly cryptic. ... more
