Clapton I been shufflin' down the Redfern streets, Backyards without a lawn And the yella haze that's in the air, It seems to grab your lungs. I been standin' downtown Central, Leavin' teardrops on the ground, And I feel so isolated, I'm scared of sinking down.
Each and every day, Life goes on the same, And it seems there is no chance, For a lonesome Redfern man. Down in ever dingy hallway, And every lifeless mind, They all got so past caring, That they've been left behind.
