Sylvia Songtext

von Mark Seymour

Houses on the avenue
Where the eucalpyts grow tall and strong
No one ever makes mistakes
And diaries are never wrong
Every brick and stone was paid for
To snare the killer ocean view
It doesn't get much better than this
It's time to join the chosen few
But sylvia was over it
She said, "it gets me where i live.
There's nothing here worth fighting for
And no one to forgive."
Better ride on with no explanation
Ride on with no destination
She won't be back
Sylvia's in black
Seven margaritas
Enough to make a girl confess
Her life flashed by before her eyes
Frozen hours in that little black dress
Was on a cloudless night
In a white suzuki with its soft top down
Someone said she was driving too fast
Burning rubber west of town
Better ride on with no explanation
Ride on with no destination
She won't be back
Sylvia's in black
Ride on
Ride on
Better ride on with no expectation
Ride on with no destination
She won't be back
Sylvia's in black
Better ride on with no explanations
Ride on with no destination
She won't be back
Sylvia's in black
She won't be back
Sylvia's in black
Ride on
Ride on
