Something That Means Something - Steve Kilbey

The oceans are drying, children stop crying

We’re trying, we’re dying to leave this island to you

No recovery, each day’s a terrible discovery

Under the wound they cover me, is this true

What do you want me to want

Something that means something

What do you want me to want

You don’t have a clue, do you

The cities are stinking, now keep quiet I’m thinking

I’m linking this unthinking ritual to you

No recovery, And all these sins don’t bother me

Under the skin another me, which is you

A cry from Venus, I know she’s above and between us

She’s been with us, seen with us, dreamed of us too

No recovery, I wish this earth could mother me

I hope these skies don’t smother me, just like you do
