Twin Layers Of Lightning Lyrics - Go-betweens

She walks me home 

There's a Mercedes parked in our street 

So we stop and we discuss 

Who on earth the owner could be that's just like me 

I'd evade waking up 

If the alarm wouldn't ring 

I'd walk into quick sand 

If I knew how far I'd sink 

Twin layers of trouble 

Two times that might 

Twin layers of lightning 

Both of us can strike 

We went into a club, bouncers got no brains 

He said both of you are barred 

I had to set him straight 

Listen Jack, don't you know, I'm a star 

Twin layers of trouble 

Two times that might 

Twin layers of lightning 

Both of us can strike 

Some people have no money 

While other people have no tact 

If they invite us around 

Well, they're going to get a double act 

We scream and we shout 

And then we love and we turn 

Then we set a chair on fire 

And we watch the whole house burn 

Twin layers of trouble 

Two times that might 

Twin layers of lightning 

Both of us can strike 

It's written in big letters 

Graffiti all over town 

It says, "Troublemakers on the run" 

And both our names are written down 

Oh, but infamy or fame 

Each came in a small dose 

I just wish the day would come 

When the last one would be so close
