Josua Joubert - Long Street Dweller

Old town, old tricks
No longer supplying my fix
The smell of evading sadness
Blends with vodka and piss

So many places I'd rather be
But this is where I saw you and me
But I'm still getting to know me
By looking at the puddle in the street

And I'm not going home yet
I'm as young as the night
Lord, please give me the strength to resist her
When she changes her mind

It's not vague, it's so clear
The black hole is still here
But it's a matter of time
Yeah, it's a matter of time

If I can outgrow this
This valley of lights
Of loud cheers which promise a good time
I can surely do the same to you

And I'm not going home yet
I'm as young as the night
Lord, please give me the strength to resist her
When she changes her mind

I can't wait for some things to be different
It's a matter of time
I can't still get swallowed by Long Street
It's no longer mine
