lyrics

You gotta watch this town or it'll eat you.
Keep your back up to the wall.
Eyes on the prize, or you're a loser.
The name of the game is swim,
or sink like a stone.

Don't turn your back until you're out of there.
Pay the price or lose a limb.
The people watch to see you stumble.
Lick their lips and wait
to stab you in the back.

Bridge:
Halfway down, between Bulls and Wanganui,
is the city of hope.
The city that'll eat you for breakfast.

Chorus: Turakina, no place meaner,
a ballerina poised with a dagger.
Kina-tura, glad I knew ya.
Now you'd better throw me your money and run.

Well I've walked these streets since I was little.
My mother said “Go earn your keep”.
I sold my soul for fish and chips.

Bridge.
Chorus.

Repeat Verse 2,
Bridge and Chorus.
