I got a brand new bike
Well, it's not new, it was pulled from the res
With a rope you stole
From the building site by a hole in the fence

Down by the pines
You know the best mud holes
Where the crayfish bite
Stockings and line
Stale bacon hands, you know how to
Twist off the claws before they get you

And we ride
To the place where you swear
The aliens landed
You can still see the circles
And footprints strange in the ground
We gotta get home
Before the sun goes down
We gotta get home
Before the sun goes down

You got a bruise on your eye
You say you'll be alright
It's from your dad again
I thought he must be cool
When you told us all in school
He was a driver on the trains

He once hit a boy
Who ran on the tracks from nowhere
You moved from the city to here
You ask do I pray
Your mum's always saying we should
And please be at table for when
Your father gets in

And we ride
To the place where you swear
The aliens landed
You can still see the circles
And footprints strange in the ground
We gotta get home
Before the sun goes down
We gotta get home
Before the sun goes down
