Urthboy - Orphan Rocker lyrics

See where I grew up we had a roller coaster They- They called it the Orphan Rocker Like officially called Orphan Rocker [Verse 1:] The blue mountain blood, That run under my city skin Lost in tell-tale signs and fitting in Where I'm from is a part of me and i ain't giving in More than a recollection up in your memory bank My background led me to lower the tempo (its true) Like a wound bag brand new you're retro Trikky got it slow as I like, and on that note That's why I like blues, reggae, rock, steady and folk Somehow it made me feel like I'm at home like The pace of the last style space in the road Being on top of the mountain, the place of the know Being on top of the world when you're basically broke. Never set my mind to shoot for the stars, Went through a phase of pool, jukeboxes and bars Cheap wine and four litre cars Go on a half-pipe pa**ed, black flag, nah's Bout the only time the beats got fast I had my long hair black that was punk rock making a mark Slow it down till you're makin' me laugh, but hey, Don't slow it too fast you never know cause [Hook:] We could fly with the jumping blocks, Down here with the brakes off Get enough speed We can take off We could abscond if we get a day job (lets go) Cause we're crawling (we're crawling) Then we're walking (we're walking) Now we're running (we're running) Running on, running on (woah-oh-oh) [Verse 2:] Year 12 finished, man half of us failed And it's hard to keep on course when you're way off the rails The pace that you pick up pales In comparison the kids that learned quick with winning the sales I had to balance the scales, Always have always will at the end of the day it's my holy grail It's my sk** never pa**ed the post first That'd be unreal I will pa** that post fulfilled (no doubt) In Katoomba, yo they tried to make a roller coaster A d**h trap for tourists, called the orphan rocker Took a mannequin to the cliff and then up and over Dunno what happened but I know it never opened Hair raising just wasn't our style, But we've sent a lot of dummies in the wild Even though the strobes and the lights take a moment in my life I'm coming back every once in a while [Hook:] [Verse 3:] I was ready when the city called my name, Looked back at the blue from where i came and Flickering lights in Parramatta road lanes We rub our hands together to feel the flame I thought it wasn't mine, I phoned from an outside line Outsider to a fault default to find, a feeling with fam I found i can stand behind, some of our soul brighter than our soul is to shine Took it for granted man, Took off and landed man Never been the type to abandon it, Got up and ran with it, two of the same with it, An unforgettable bond with them that we banded with Went to sleep just to dream... The audacity about with no self esteem Once that was me and all of this unforseen, now i got an ego and i just keep it lean With a whole lot of love for the mountains in my blood, Little bit of Bradbury, Campbelltown what's up? Do it on my own terms till time is up, yo guts drop the drums let's bring it back a touch, come on Let's do it Let's get up on this orphan rocker Let's see where it takes us Let's see if it's for real Let's head up to the cliff and find out, come on [Hook:] Springstein, Nebraska, slow down your speed. Put some new Paul Kelly on they thought I was asleep Drop down your anchor, turn up place some thieves Now that nothing matters Come drift down with me Come drift down with me Come drift down with me
