lyrics

The place down the street sold for 1.7mill
And in this drafty house I’ve got cracks in my windowsill
I walk to the station just to feel the cold
I need some libations but they don’t sell them at Coles

And outside the market I sing for my meals
The gold and silver trickle down but i don’t feel real
And outside the Sun they just see me and move on
The homeless people give me more than the Yarraville mums

My roommate’s moving out she’s moving to the south
And I won't see her anymore I’m so filled with doubt
I'm working once again for minimum wage
Is it even worth it if my bills are barely paid?

My parents say come back we miss you in the sun
But I ain't going back no more I am on the run

What would they say if they found out …
My sister’d be an only child I’d make it work a little while

'Till that day i'll keep up my escape
Busking outside Footscray Station singing words, my creations

The homeless people give me more than the Yarraville mums

The students give me more than the Yarraville mums

The nuns they give me more

Than the Yarraville mums
