Tinpan Orange - The Bottom of the Lake lyrics

The siren is cutting through the air It's a long way home from the country fair If you ask my sister for a reason she'll say Keep your head down and say your prayers Keep your head down and say your prayers There's a dusty neon in this town Sun sets over buildings like a crown If you ask my brother for a reason he'll say Morals are for the boring and the found Morals are for the boring and the found Please don't fly here it's too dry to go And the bottom of the lake is too sad and low I'm a liar I'm a liar I'm a?? liar I was born here but soon I'll have to go I know this town too well I have to go There's an eagle just outside the city limits People take pictures when they come to visit They say I'll come here every year to find the desert air That's just the way we're living That's just the way we're living Please don't fly here it's too dry to go And the bottom of the lake is too sad and low I'm a liar I'm a liar I'm a?? Liar I was born here but soon ill have to go I know this town too well I have to go The hotel stands beside the lake Its open hours are 10am to late Betty works there if you ask her gently She'll say water doesn't bring back what it takes The water's taken more than she can take Please don't fly here it's too dry to go And the bottom of the lake is too sad and low I'm a liar I'm a liar I'm a?? liar I was born here but soon ill have to go I know this town too well I have to go
