The Boys Are Killing Me Pond

[Verse 1]
Back in early '96 in North West Australia
I wonder why you were lyin' on the street alone
Another accident inflicted on an innocent child
In the home, while I was on the see-saw
I was in the garden, readin' Papillon
Tellin' myself real people couldn't be so cruel

[Pre-Chorus]
And she said, "Honey, what's wrong?"
I said, "Babe, what's right?"
So we staggered off into the night, oh
I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky just to sleep at night, oh
So we linked arms and we staggered off into the night
Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed

[Chorus]
By the boys
The boys are killin' me
I'm just a sailor and a miner
I'm comin' as I am, comin' as I am
Even if you tell me I'm a liar
The boys are killin' me
I'm just a sailor and a miner
Mantajarra Walyakarra
Take a deep breath and hold your fire
