On The Flip Of A Coin - The Streets[00:00:01]

From the point he gazedf[00:00:11]

From the choice was made[00:00:12]

But 'walk the cave or the shore'[00:00:14]

The oily cave seemed to breathe[00:00:16]

On him through gravestone jaws[00:00:17]

His little hand grasped in[00:00:20]

Anguish as he weighed up his coin[00:00:21]

Somewhere a blue eyed girl in the[00:00:24]

World is just waiting for a boy[00:00:26]

Footprints trailed as if trod by[00:00:29]

Slaves up to the grey cave floor[00:00:30]

But not one graze from[00:00:33]

Anything ever escaping this fort[00:00:34]

So with coin on hand his joy came back[00:00:37]

When ordered to take the shore[00:00:40]

Why on earth' as he wandered the warmth 'am[00:00:42]

I obeying this coin'[00:00:44]

Turn your life on the flip of this coin[00:00:46]

Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid[00:00:50]

And promise me you'll follow what it says[00:00:55]

Whatever it says[00:00:59]

Again walk within the trusted[00:01:04]

Beach or swim the swell of the sea[00:01:05]

And again the scarier alternative[00:01:08]

Looked like certain death to he[00:01:10]

He'd never learnt to skill of swimming[00:01:13]

It never occurred to be very easy[00:01:15]

And again he winced as he flipped[00:01:17]

The coin and it twirled to his feet[00:01:19]

How is this sane' he blamed[00:01:22]

The coin now aiming for the waves[00:01:23]

As he hesitated at the swirl of[00:01:26]

Water as it raged and rained[00:01:28]

Blue eyed girls were waiting[00:01:30]

And he was drowning in the spray[00:01:32]

Blue eyed girls he should have been[00:01:35]

Acquainted with but for shouting and flailing[00:01:36]

Turn your life on the flip of this coin[00:01:39]

Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid[00:01:43]

And promise me you'll follow what it says[00:01:48]

Whatever it says[00:01:52]

He finally slugs it back to land[00:01:57]

Eeling chewed up and foolish[00:01:59]

Empties his pockets on[00:02:01]

The sand spewing a pool each[00:02:02]

Staggers back to his dad who's too cool to be[00:02:06]

So he says 'why did you have[00:02:10]

Me follow this stupid rule please'[00:02:11]

To be honest little fellow I'll tell you[00:02:14]

I was just as afraid as you[00:02:16]

But you said you wanted to get[00:02:19]

With people and places ever new[00:02:20]

And I got a bit scared of the fate[00:02:23]

Of my baby son's future[00:02:25]

So I invented a reason to see[00:02:27]

If you could ever make do[00:02:29]

As soon as you appeared behind[00:02:32]

That rock looking angry at me[00:02:33]

I soon realised what a hell of[00:02:36]

A man you've ended up being[00:02:38]

I knew you'd worked out how to swim[00:02:41]

Which I hadn't had in me[00:02:43]

And I stand as a companion of you[00:02:45]

Proudest a man has ever been[00:02:47]

Turn your life on the flip of this coin[00:02:49]

Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid[00:02:54]

And promise me you'll follow what it says[00:02:58]

Whatever it says[00:03:03]
