Head Shop

The streets are dark, the night is cold

Shadows dance in every window

The wind is biting through my coat

As evening fades I’m waiting to rise

We met this August afternoon

His insight threw me like a typhoon

And I was frail, I think he knew

Whispered words of great escapes

Now’s the time to break away

He said...

Meet me at the head shop

Forget yourself and leave it all behind

Wait at the bus stop tonight

Meet me at the head shop

And let me free and open up your mind

You and I will take off tonight

The city wakes the sirens call

To remind me why I don’t remember

I’m kicking trash against the wall

Evening fades, still waiting to rise

No-one escapes undisguised

He said...

Meet me at the head shop

Forget yourself and leave it all behind

Wait at the bus stop tonight

(And I'm still waiting)

Meet me at the head shop

And let me free and open up your mind

You and I will take off tonight

To let the colours run

To bite the loaded gun

To let the tables turn

To let the moment crash and burn

To take a solid stand

However hard you land

To wait another day

To leave yourself and run away

He said...

Meet me at the head shop

Forget yourself and leave it all behind

Wait at the bus stop tonight

(And I’m still waiting)

Meet me at the head shop

And let me free and open up your mind

But he never turned up that night...
