All over town,you can hear my cheques bouncing
they`re breaking up my chits but I don`t care,I still want to 
play
I`ve got it so bad I don`t know where I`m falling
All the freeways are open and out here the sun`s always on
There waits Kathleen on the banks of the Swan
with an apron of dirt and the harbour lights on

This is my prayer for her,this is her song
falling asleep with the television on
This is my prayer for her,this is her song
falling asleep with the television on

It`s good while it lasts,and it`s good while you`re winning
But I should have stayed sober and,I guess I should have 
stayed clean
But the sky just broke up
And it all came unstuck
With these two weak arms I couldn`t keep the window clean
There waits Kathleen with the kids at her knees
On a thin strip of sand without roses or trees

This is my prayer for her this is her song
she`s falling asleep with the television on
This is my prayer for her this is her song
falling asleep with the television on

And it`s going to be a new kind of light burning everyone
A new kind of light burning everyone

My money is dirt and so they ripped up my credit
In the end I hit it too hard
my friends all agreed I pushed it too fast
Now I lie awake shaking
with a head full of figures spinning
While the junkmail`s flowing out of my box
and blowing across my front lawn
News hound smells blood on the big side of town
Boom time is over big men are brought down
Paper crosses hands,sweetheart deals done
Falling asleep again
And it`s going to be a new kind of light burning everyone
And it`s going to be a new kind of light burning everyone

All over town you can here my cheques bouncing
They`re breaking up my chits but I don`t care,I still want to 
play
My chest is prised open,they`re eating out my lining
Just the final windfall and they`ll blow me away
There waits Kathleen on the banks of the Swan
with an apron of dirt,with the harbour lights on

This is my prayer for her,this is her song
Falling asleep with the television on
This is my prayer for her,this is her song
Falling asleep

And there`s going to be a new kind of light burning everyone
And there`s going to be a new kind of light burning everyone
A new king of light burning everyone
A new kind of light burning everyone
A new kind of light burning everyone
Oh oh oh
Sing children
Oh yeah,yeah,yeah
Burning everyone
Sing children
