Clothes Line

[Verse 1] One night at a bar, I'd come to nil Found my world in Surry Hills Sitting in a gutter, looking up Laughing with a mouth full of blood Years back to an open yard You took my hand and laid me down Under a clothes line on spiky grass You came quick and I came last [Chorus] If the Reaper comes to claim me And all I've gotten done Is write some shitty music And take some shitty drugs I'll smile at him, I'll laugh at him I'll cry at him, I'll scream I'll do it all in pain and passion 'Til there's nothing left of me [Verse 2] One night on a curb, I stained it red It's me against the world again I lie back and smear my clothes It's a white shirt meets a gushing nose Think years back to simple drives We got in trouble when things were quiet Racked up back when we still laughed Somehow, you remained unscarred [Chorus] If the Reaper comes to claim me And all I've gotten done Is write some shitty music And take some shitty drugs I'll smile at him, I'll laugh at him I'll cry at him, I'll scream I'll do it all in pain and passion 'Til there's nothing left of me [Outro] And he will never keep me
