They say everything that rises

Will be brought down

Anyone who's anybody

Is getting out of town



The highheels on the long weekend

Clatter in the street below

Somebody got pinned again

Underneath my window



The crowd roars on the wind

And I call out your name

They're keepin' score on the radio

But it all sounds the same (home away game)



The punters on the platform

Stagger throughout the yellow light

Force the door and slash the seats

We're all goin' home tonight



Up and down the nature strip

The Sunday drinkers ride

Faith is flowin' down the Esplanade

Drip try and lemon tide



It's perfect one day

That's when it's raining again

Crouched upon the ocean

Is the city that I live in



(chorus)

Ya never build too high

In January rain
