Lyrics Steve Kilbey

Steve Kilbey

A Minute Without You

Diamond-hard heartthrob fakes displeasure

As his duty finish rests around with his needs

God, his face is like a sunken treasure

Being dragged up from the violent seas

And it's one for the woman that's never been had

Two for the women that were always unclad

Three for the wind knocking at the door

Four someone you know who we are looking for

Overwhelming hunger descended on me

Stretches from the cradle to the factory

A minute without you is just too long

A lifetime beside you and it's gone like this song

They bring down the angels from the troubled sky

Put them in a cage to make baby cry

Madison avenue choked by dust

Don't wanna be there but I know I must

Overwhelming hunger descended on me

Stretches from the cradle to the factory

A minute without you is just too long

A lifetime beside you and it's gone like this song

Overwhelming panic descended on me

Chase me from the grave to the nursery

A minute without you is just too short

A lifetime beside you and I'm bound to get caught

Early in the evening gonna pull down the hood

Let the silence rush by 'cause it feel real good

Seven stupid prophets say it'll end in rain

But the fire in their eyes is gonna burn you again
