Bye Bye Pride Lyrics - Go-betweens

A white moon appears 

Like a hole in the sky 

The mangroves go quiet 

In la Brisa de la Palma 

A teenage Rasputin 

Takes the sting from a gin 

When a woman learns to walk 

She's not dependent anymore 

A line front her letter May 24 

And out on the bay 

The current is strong 

A boat can go lost 

But I didn't know someone 

Could be so lonesome 

Didn't know a heart could be tied up 

And held for ransom 

Until you take your shoes 

And go outside, stride over stride 

Walk to that tide because 

The door is open wide 

Turned the fan off and went for a walk 

By the lights down on Shield Street 

The birds in the trees 

Open their wings 

He goes home again 

He dreams resistance 

They talk commitment 

Things change over long distance 

Took the shirt off his back 

The eyes from his head 

And left him for dead 

But I didn't know someone 

Could be so lonesome 

Didn't know a heart could be tied up 

And held for ransom 

Until you take your shoes 

And go outside, stride over stride 

Walk to that tide because 

The door is open wide 

Little lies, they'll take your pride 

Until you take your shoes 

And go outside. stride over stride 

Walk to that tide because the door is open wide 

Stride over stride, walk to that tide 

Bye, bye pride 

Because the door is open wide 

The door is always open wide 

The door is always open wide
