Salt grips the road

Awaits his lift again

Street orange glow

Shades the odds against

One more sip a shoe a miss

A shaving nick an extra kiss
Who's to know whatever!

Verse #2:
--------
Swings don't swing
The parks been dead for years
How do you know
The last swings weren't your last for good

Fresh summer peach

Sugar chocolate treat
Who's to know whatever!

Verse #3:
--------
The street's so long
Where she lost her pocket purse
Kept the last picture
Of the man she commited first
Cracked windscreen rain
French murder play
Junk take away
Tired street parades
Who's to know whatever!

Not up to me
Not up to you
Not up to anything we do
