light sleeping in the sticks 

night fever keeping me alive

fiending for the evening and the night

creeping on the sly

night vision people of the night

filling every increment with life


feeling every elemental sign 

lows heightening 

light bulbs brightening 

faint amber phosphorescent lights

enlightening

one at a time

left to right

between your house and mine


night seeks you in a bit

the air’s thick, thicker than a bitch

this new wave’s got you in its grip

of course you want a bit

two toke passes on a spliff

your older brother hotboxing the whip


do it for the kids

who do it for the kicks

do it till we’re busted by the pigs

as if we give a shit

young dumb lovers in the sticks

we give it till there’s nothing left to give

light sleeping in the…


___WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN I’M DOWN

___WHEN THE MOON COMES OUT I’M OUT


light sleeping in the sticks

night fever keeping me awake

fiending for the evening not the day

fiending for the grade

i ain’t fiending for the grades

screaming down a little country lane

bottleneck chicane


meet me in the rave

among a dozen different coloured motorcades

light up the whole estate

spend a whole fortnight at your place

getting caned

coz your parents went away


night seeks you every bit bitch

waiting for the memo then you dip quick

a dozen different bunch of missing kids skip

100 in the whip


a ‘dunno where we’re going’ kinda mish

fives-up until the motherfucker spins

like living off the grid

waiting at the lights until they switch

foot down and popping uppers in your drinks

that’s how it really is

what a rush 

a reason to exist

you ever pump the gas until it drifts?


-

light sleeping in the sticks

night fever coursing through my veins

forming every thought inside my brain

till i’m forfeiting the day

waiting on the ordinance to change 

and the order of the night to come again


dream sweet, dream big

departing on a parting of the waves

on course to enter orbit with your mates

an assortment, an array

what you got?

i want it no debate 

i will smash them till i’m off my fucking face


night seeks you every bit

creeping through the window of your crib

of course it knows exactly where you live

when it’s blanketing the town

won’t leave until it’s underneath your skin

now you’re knee deep swimming in the shit

and in that very moment

when the sun and moon decrypt

what the galaxy provides is what the solar system gives

bliss

so will you double lock your door

or put the pedal to the metal real quick?

light sleeping in the…
