Fitzroy St Songtext
von Tinpan Orange

I drowned one night on Fitzroy Street
And I′ve never been the same
I couldn't breathe and I couldn′t help it
Forgot the sound of my own name
The strangers all seemed stranger
And my friends melted away
They couldn't see what I was feeling
But they sensed that things weren't quite okay

She laughed the way that stupid people laugh
But she was only pretending
He smiled the way that damaged people smile
He hid it well, inside his whole world was ending


And I was told these feelings will come and go
Like moods and like bank accounts
But I took a sip two years ago
But I can′t seem to wash the taste out of my mouth

She laughed the way that stupid people laugh
But she was only pretending
He smiled the way that damaged people smile
He hid it well, inside his whole world was ending

And they could stand together in the darkness
And they could lie in each other′s arms in the light
But they couldn't hide in the shadows
Their love would cast over
They couldn′t hide from each other
Try as they might

He laughed the way that stupid people laugh
But he was only pretending
She smiled the way that damaged people smile
She hid it well, inside her whole world was ending
