Now woke,
I hung my head
Yabba ghost the living dead
as I waited the Sun streets gave way to a drunk
adorned in red
and in the silence of the dawn
I heard him sing a rueful song
Soft and slow it wrapped around my bones so I sang along
Desperate hope
Reminds me that I'm alone
But even so inside I know
that we'll see again
Close this place up from the mud
Sustained by poor man's blood
We scratch and we crawl away from its
jaws But it will swallow all of us
Under boot it's hard to breathe
They leash us and bind our feet
So say not a word or they'll lock you away
Just like that girl that they took from me
Desperate hope
Reminds me that I'm alone
But even so
inside I know
that we'll see again
So we sang for a city that he used to know
And I sang for that love that I lost long ago
And I sang towards the sky to a god up above that may never come
I fell asleep where the moons were torn
And in my dreams these buildings burn
Through the glow
the ash will fall like snow
upon the sun
Desperate hope
Reminds me that I'm alone
But even so
inside I know
that we'll see again
That we'll see again
