Slowly Slowly – St. Leonards lyrics

I saw a miracle at the St Leonards beach
I saw the cages in the poison lake
With something free to eat
I saw tsunamis carry shells up to my hands
Dark blue cold and foaming white
Shopping trolleys in the night
The retirees and refugees could see heaven at their feet
With sticky hands from ice creams drips
Will make, nirvana for the ants
And some of me still in the air suspended right above the pier
And I'm standing on a quarter pipe at midnight sipping beer

When god pulled out the cornerstone
He messed with us all
Maybe he froze him in flight
Like the ducks on the wall
Maybe he's hiding in the driveway
Behind his old car
Maybe he didn't get too far

I saw a miracle at the St Leonards beach
Chainlinks all together
Now it feels so out of reach
And I thought I found a way
That I could circumvent the heat
But then these pyromaniacs
Lit a fire under me

I saw the ancestry
From overseas
The force field of the north
David Goliath at the table
In a silent trojan horse
And they were championing the weeds to try to drown the culture out
Stockholm syndrome hamster wheels
Or the endless roundabout

When god pulled out the cornerstone
He messed with us all
Maybe he froze him in flight
Like the ducks on the wall
Maybe he's hiding in the driveway
Behind his old car
Maybe he didn't get too far

I saw a miracle at the St Leonards beach
The house that sleeps a million
On the burning white concrete
I saw finality
When you left all your pain
Off to darken bitter one
In the house of treated pine
I see ya dancing
And I hear your silver keys
On a boat at 4 am
We're talking every now and then

You came to see her and she said she felt ya there
Ya said don't worry don't be scared
I'm just waiting in my chair
For now
