Wellington Lyrics - Pokey Lafarge

After 3 months on the road I flew to Wellington, New Zealand 

strung out and stuck in, a hole I've been digging 

down on Cuba Street, no worries on my mind 

tryin' to get a hold of strongest thing I could find 

Wellington, [oh yeah] 

you've got the best of me 

and if I don't wake up tomorrow 

won't you bury me in Wellington 

The sun was slowly fading like a fire in the rain 

I couldn't stop the burning I had in my veins 

the flower of the poppy I follow with my nose 

I search the whole town over, sweatin' through my clothes 

Wellington, [oh yeah] 

you've got the best of me 

and if I don't wake up tomorrow 

won't you bury me in Wellington 

When I met a stranger, bought what he had for sale 

he put my hands in cuffs said son, you're going to jail 

we walking towards the squad car as he read my rights to me 

looks like I better call up the US embassy in Wellington 

Wellington, [oh yeah] 

you've got the best of me 

and if I don't wake up tomorrow 

won't you bury me in Wellington 

Oh, judge is there nothing I can say 

to save my skin and set me free today 

please just let me go back home 

but if I must stay 

will you make sure sweet opium takes me far away 

I miss my friends and family but I'm nowhere near them now but I'm nowhere near them now 

Locked up in the South Pacific in a jail somewhere downtown you've been a friendly island to me since I stepped upon your shore and if I ever leave a free man, won't be coming back for more 

Wellington, [oh yeah] 

you've got the best of me 

and if I don't wake up tomorrow 

won't you bury me in Wellington 

Wellington, [oh yeah] 

you've got the best of me 

and if I don't wake up tomorrow 

won't you bury me in Wellington
