St. Leonards - Slowly Slowly

I saw a miracle at the St Leonards beach

I saw the cages in the poison lake

With something free to eat

I saw tsunamis carry shells up to my hands

Dark blue cold and foaming white

Shopping trolleys in the night

The retirees and refugees could see heaven at their feet

With sticky hands from ice creams drips

Will make, nirvana for the ants

And some of me still in the air suspended right above the pier

And I’m standing on a quarter pipe at midnight sipping beer

When god pulled out the cornerstone

He messed with us all

Maybe he froze him in flight

Like the ducks on the wall

Maybe he’s hiding in the driveway

Behind his old car

Maybe he didn’t get too far

I saw a miracle at the St Leonards beach

Chainlinks all together

Now it feels so out of reach

And I thought I found a way

That I could circumvent the heat

But then these pyromaniacs

Lit a fire under me

I saw the ancestry

From overseas

The force field of the north

David Goliath at the table

In a silent trojan horse

And they were championing the weeds to try to drown the culture out

Stockholm syndrome hamster wheels

Or the endless roundabout

When god pulled out the cornerstone

He messed with us all

Maybe he froze him in flight

Like the ducks on the wall

Maybe he’s hiding in the driveway

Behind his old car

Maybe he didn’t get too far

I saw a miracle at the St Leonards beach

The house that sleeps a million

On the burning white concrete

I saw finality

When you left all your pain

Off to darken bitter one

In the house of treated pine

I see ya dancing

And I hear your silver keys

On a boat at 4 am

We’re talking every now and then

You came to see her and she said she felt ya there

Ya said don’t worry don’t be scared

I’m just waiting in my chair

For now
