As the city asleep
Shares its dreams and desires
Every wish that we keep
Will trace a line to other times, other placesThough the song of the proud
Howls and dies, never fall for defeat
Take a trip to reprieve every hour they leave
From Killermont StreetDrink a drink to before
And our memories spill
Adding on as they pour
From our Saturdays and secret sensationsDrink a drink to tonight
Whisky words tumble down in the street
With the pain that they cure, sentimentally yours
From Killermont StreetAnd with collar upturned
I made it south to see
That the love I had spurned
Was just the hate in meAs the ships and the steel
Slip away to the cry of "compete"
There's a message for us
We can get there by bus
From Killermont StreetThere's a message for us
We can get there by bus
From Killermont Street
