A Version Of A Life - Ski Patrol

Turn off the light,

there’s no-one there

It’s just your friends,

they’ve come to stare

Ask your friends what they

need, they need to

drain and bleed

That’s what friends are for,

that’s what friends are for

We meet on an empty street,

eyes flicker recognition,

don’t meet

If I was you I’d rather not

I’ll pass to go, you are full stop

You pick up a rumour,

malignant vocal tumour

Pass the poison round

Live it up and live it down

Pass the poison round

Live it up and live it down

A cloud bursts over the river,

the bills still need paying

Don’t look to me for tears,

I’ve cried myself dry

I’ve cried myself dry,

I’ve cried myself dry

A version of a life is what you

live you know

If you lose any more face,

you’ll disappear without a trace

Without a trace

A version of a life is what you

live you know

Someone gave me the whisper, a

shiver ran through the industry

Every word sticks in my throat,

like a needle, herring-bone coat

I’ve been around,

I’ve been around,

I’ve been around and round

and round and round

and round and round

Around and round

It’s time to wind down now

It’s time to wind down…
