Twin Layers of Lightning - The Go-Betweens

She walks me home

There’s a mercedes parked in our street

So we stop and we discuss

Who on earth the owner could be

That’s just like me

I’d evade waking up if the alarm wouldn’t ring

I’d walk into quick sand

If i knew how far i’d sink

Twin layers of trouble

Two times that might

Twin layers of lightning

Both of us can strike

We went into a club

Bouncers got no brains

He said both of you are barred

I had to set him straight

Listen jack, don’t you know, i’m a star

Some people have no money

While other people have no tact

If they invite us around

Well they’re going to get a double act

We scream and we shout

And then we love and we turn

Then we set a chair on fire

And we watch the whole house burn

It’s written in big letters

Graffiti all over town

It says troublemakers on the run

And both our names are written down

Oh but infamy or fame

Each came in a small dose

I just wish the day would come

When the last one would be so close
