Bioluminescence!
The car is pulling up now, we're reaching for our jackets
And we could see this from a satellite
The pulsing and the swirling, it's something quite like magic
The icy and fluorescing fireflies beneath my feet and...
And everything is clear, I want to take you here
It's something to behold, the crystal and the cold
It's fading and then through, and all that's left is you
Recalling the fleeting foxfire
The day brings tide of warning, the fireworks are foreshadowed
Our torchlight slices through the darkened night
The salty meets the sweetness, the indigo meets the sapphire
A tiny universe of galaxies beneath my feet and...
And everything is clear, I want to take you here
It's something to behold, the crystal and the cold
It's fading and then through, and all that's left is you
Recalling the fleeting foxfire
Bioluminescence! Bioluminescence! Bioluminescence!

RIVER
Would you like to jump into the River with me?
Would you like to jump into the River with me?
We can swim until me make it, and try until the fake it, in the river with me
Would you like to jump into the River with me?
Would you like to, swim across the River with me?
Would you like to, swim across the River with me?
As it ebbs and as it flows oh baby that's just how it goes in the RIver with me?
Would you like to, swim across the River with me?
And as it's undulating and as it's getting late and
the moon begins ascending, in the RIver with me
Here in the River with me
And nothing is decided, just you and I collided
we'll never be divided, in the river with me
Jump into the River, jump into the river with me
Would you like to Dance beside with River with me?
Would you like to Dance beside with River with me?
We can feel our bodies shaking, feel our body quaking in the River with me?
Would you like to Dance beside with River with me?
And as it's undulating and as it's getting late and
the moon begins ascending, in the RIver with me
Here in the River with me
And nothing is decided, just you and I collided
we'll never be divided, in the river with me
Jump into the River, jump into the river with me
We're gonna make it, oh we're gonna make it oh
We're gonna make it, you and I will make it oh.

Isolation
I don't know what day it is today, It could be tomorrow or it could be yesterday
There's a bounty in my shopping cart, but I wont even buy one no I wont even buy one
I'm gonna take up baking, I've never been that good at it before
I need another cup of sugar, I can't even go next-door no I can't go next-door
Meet me by the fence we'll have another cup of tea
and that'll turn to wine and then that'll turn to three
and we will all slow down it's an isolated incident this isolation incident
Walk on by, walk on by, walk on by, walk on by...
Planted the seedling watch them grow, and fixed the faulty latch on the gate
My puzzle box said it has a thousand pieces, but I'm almost at the end there's 998
I'm gonng take up painting, I don't know the first thing about paint
it ended up being an inkblot... diagnose that! I think I'm gonna faint
Meet me by the fence we'll have another cup of tea
and that'll turn to wine and then that'll turn to three
and we will all slow down it's an isolated incident this isolation incident
Walk on by, walk on by, walk on by, walk on by...
All of us together alone,
All of us together alone...

Summer
Taking off as fast as their feet would go, hills are giving way to the greyer tones
Northern lights and all the bigger brighter giants and just calling them out and calling them on
The buzz will hypnotise them, billboard and takeaway and parking spaces
the thrill will mesmerise enough to draw them all out and draw them all on
They always come back like a moth to the light
They always come back for the taste and the sight
Because they like it in the sun and
there's beaches in the summer
there's something in the water where you figure it out
They always, yeah they always
Head are down the blinders are tightly fixed, forming queues and paying to cross the bridge
They are spoilt for all their choices and it's calling them on and calling them out
Something is making the needle shake, and it flickers and shakes and quakes and quiver quivers
calling me in familiar directions and its calling me on and calling me out
They always come back like a moth to the light
They always come back for the taste and the sight
Because they like it in the sun and
there's beaches in the summer
there's something in the water where you figure it out
They always, yeah they always
It's calling them on , calling them out, it's calling them on calling calling them out
It's drawing them on, drawing them out it's drawing them on it's drawing drawing them out
It's calling me on, calling me out, calling me on it's calling calling me out
It's drawing me on, drawing me out, drawing me on drawing drawing me out
They always come back like a moth to the light
They always come back for the taste and the sight
Because they like it in the sun and
there's beaches in the summer
there's something in the water where you figure it out
They always, yeah they always
It's calling them on , calling them out, it's calling them on calling calling them out
It's drawing them on, drawing them out it's drawing them on it's drawing drawing them out
It's calling me on, calling me out, calling me on it's calling calling me out
It's drawing me on, drawing me out, drawing me on it's drawing drawing me out

Rain
There's brown all around as we crunch through the paddocks
The dust is in our eyes and smudges up our glasses
Try as we might to be the ever reaching optimists, the poor little dog had none
And we gaze to the skies, where are the butterflies?
Prayed for the Rain but the rain didn't come, prayed for the rain but the rain didn't come...
And then came the lightening, a single strike of lightening
it fuelled and fed and grew and stole, the monster it was frightening
We tried to fight the facts but it was back ancient faxes
stacking roof racks packing boxes in our cars.
Have a happy new year, there's ash floating in my champagne
Prayed for the Rain but the rain didn't come, prayed for the rain but the rain didn't come...
Tune up the wireless, black summer it is tireless
there's read and yellow, orange, grey but where it the all the blue
the trees are blackened skeletons, they're standing at attention
as the smoulder and topple over in the ash
And on Christmas day the truck still came
and the children all opened their gifts
I stood in the cul-de-sac, 40 degrees
And swallowed a lump in my throat
Prayed for the Rain but the rain didn't come, prayed for the rain but the rain didn't come...
