I wake with your hand on my shoulder
It's colder outside where they don't know we're naked
And all of your friends leave messages

That suggest we should not be doing what we're doing
But we do not care and where there is air we'll be breathing
Believe me, where there's warmth we'll share


And why are you not in Melbourne?
It's colder here, you know

And the stars are obscured by the sky
And why are you not Melbourne?
There's art in the streets

Put your feet somewhere close to my floor
And why
Are you

Not in Melbourne?

Under the house of someone I once slept with

We wept on the inside; the outside kept talking
Cos we knew we'd fit together like continents
In the eyes of children who've just learned geography

And you had a lover
And I had a ticket
We wickedly took off with the few hours left to us


And still you're not here in Melbourne
It's colder here, you know

And the stars aren't are obscured by the sky
And why are you still not in Melbourne?
There's art in the streets

Put your feet somewhere close to my floor
And why
Are you still

Not in Melbourne?

I caught you peeking

When you thought I'd be sleeping
We caught not a wink
For the heat we were breathing

No, there was no rest
But at least we weren't arrested
For teaching the children of the birds and bees (and the bees and bees)

But I wish you had turned when I had turned back
I'd turn back the clocks if I thought we could stay still long enough


So maybe it's good
You're not here in Melbourne
It's colder here, you see

And the stars aren't as bright as you'd like
But still, there's a place for you in Melbourne
My heart's on my sleeve

Wish your feet would come darken my door

You

You and me
I mean, we
Could both be

Here in Melbourne
Here in Melbourne
Here in Melbourne
