LYRICS
-------------------------------------------------------
Home made half pipe. Grape vine LED light.
Good friends start bands. Fridge full of bin wine.
Couch talk, throw dice, dinnertime (share rice).
Light work - many hands, everybody shine!

Neighbour's at the door with a case
- always koffie in the can
Finger painting on your face
Putting fire in your plan
Sewing patterns to your clothes
Building palaces of sand
Getting washed away but even so I hope they

KNOW,
that this bright
GLOW,
it grows where we
GO,
it grows where we
GO

Damacles dead line [dog eat dog time]
black mould / rent raised
house call / ambush
time bomb romance,
paranoid side glance
neverending grey maze, everybody shhh! (shhh!)

Suit is at the door with a notice
I am on the floor in a ball feeling hopeless
I am just a fly on a wall getting bulldozed
Even though I feel so small as the last brick falls i'll

know,
that this bright
glow,
it grows where we
go,
it grows where we
go
