lyrics

The freshness has burnt from the dawn
So few have stayed so many gone
I can hardly remember the dew
Tauranga's just over that hill

And I think
That someday I'll get killed
Yes I will
On State Highway Number Two

It hurts where it didn't hurt before
So much is less
So little's more
The passing lane is just about through
I think I need just one more pill

And I think
That someday I'll get killed
Yes I will
On State Highway Number Two

The turns are too tight
To build up space
I've no chance in Hell to win this race
Maramarua's behind me now
But I still can't find her anyhow
Anyhow
Anyhow.
The gaps are all I have to show
So little learnt
So much to know
I lurch on blindly with a clue
And still I feel like
Just a frill

And I think
Someday I'll get killed
Yes I will
State highway number two
State highway number two.

The Weight of Melted Snow
by French for rabbits

This album is stunning. 'The Weight of Melted Snow' in particular is a delectable track. I love the way the bass follows the melody in certain phrases. A playfulness. The lyrics too; magic. The Goth and the Pixie
