Going Blind

The Go-Betweens
The Friends of Rachel Worth

You sure gotta funny way

Of hanging on to the babylon

Of the always gone and getting it wrong

Because it makes no difference to anyone

That you had your fun in the burning sun

When you thought you’d won

And I like your weird way of drifting low

In the underflow, try letting go

And then you’ll know

’cause sometimes change is a dirty word

When you’re in the herd, yeah that’s what I heard

Did your kitten purr?



You sure gotta funny way of hanging on

’cause I’m going blind

You sure got a funny way of hanging on

’cause I’m going blind



Midnight and hauntings and nights on the fly

Moonlight on moorings with you on my mind



If you go a little crazy when the light is black

Get on a different track, find out what you lack

And you’ll make it back

And it sure seems strange here in hollywood

But I’m looking good, I’ll put on my hood

And dream of birnam wood



You sure gotta funny way of hanging on

’cause I’m going blind

You sure got a funny way of hanging on

’cause I’m going blind
