Don’t try your luck

But everybody’s trying something

Don’t stitch me up

Well everybody’s buying something

(I guess)

I was just sitting out on the edge of town

On the car roof looking out at Western Port Bay

I was staring at a speck of light in the sky

And I was contemplating space instead of what I knew I had to say

I’ve been cleaning up around for so long

It must be almost time to let the good times roll

I seem to love and leave with equal ease

But I swear I miss every girl I’ve ever loved at all

Don’t try your luck

But everybody’s trying something

Don’t stitch me up

Well everybody’s buying something

Everybody’s buying

Everybody’s buying something

Everybody’s trying something

Her eyes were red and her teeth were bared

And I can still see her coming down the stairs like an avalanche

So I climbed a tree and eventually fell asleep

And I woke in a sweat to see her sawing off the fuckin\' branch

We lay like lizards in the morning sun

When the evening came the stars were ringing like little bells

She was scratching at the mystery all night long

Like an insect bite or that secret that you’ll never tell

Don’t try your luck

But everybody’s trying something

Don’t stitch me up

Well everybody’s buying something

Everybody’s buying

Everybody’s buying something

Everybody’s trying something

She said, shit is getting real but then who knows

Maybe we’re just holograms and this is God’s HBO

I said I love you she said I love you too

I said ok now it’s time to let go

I covered my wall in a thousand scribbled out dreams

And then one day they came to knock the whole place down

So I bought a six pack of beers and packet of smokes

And kicked back to watch the psychedelic dust cloud

Don’t try your luck

But everybody’s trying something

Don’t stitch me up

Well everybody’s buying something

Everybody’s buying

Everybody’s buying something

Everybody’s trying something
