Refinery Row Lyrics - Singles - Nixi Tanyss

Refinery Row 

When your time becomes money it has no other value 

the money you make becomes time you cant use 

you are motionless dead weight and the life you have wasted 

is the only one given and its wasted on you 

You like smoke stacks and diesel 

you like Hollywood pictures 

you like fake tans and football and cable tv 

And its what you aspire to that will always define you 

and its what you will turn out to be 

We could give up ourselves to the beauty around us 

see if its true that the best things are free 

and have been here for ages, ah but waiting attention 

and someone to choose them over pittance and greed 

So you and me dont have to live in a house on Refinery Row 

We could walk off our jobs and go live in a dumpster 

wake up with the birds and find food in the garbage 

and drink wine on a park bench 

and be dirty and honest 

If thats the worst that can happen then it sounds good to me 

Shouldnt everyday living be some kind of wonder 

with your favourite sounds and your favourite things 

like the smell of the soil after sky-water soaks it 

to be full of that current 

and to fly in your dreams 

So you and me dont have to live in a house on Refinery Row...
