FlameTrees

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon pass me by

I'm just savouring familiar sights

We share some history

This town and I

And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her

Try to book a room to stay tonight

Number one is to find some friends to say

You're doing well

After all this time you boys look just the same

Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels

Settle in to play Do you remember so and so

Number three is never say her name

Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town

There's no change

There's no pace

Everything within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

But Ah Who needs that sentimental bulls**tanyway

Takes more than just a memory to make me cry

I'm happy just to sit here round a table with old friends

And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies

There's a girl falling in love near where the pianola stands

With her young local factory out of worker holding hands

And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay

Do you remember

Nothing stopped us on the field

In our day

Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town

There's no change

There's no pace

Everything within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town

There's no change

There's no pace

Everything within its place

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
