Name: A Bitter Projection by Kim Salmon
Duration: 3 min 29 s
Description: First single from the album 'Runaways' by Kim Salmon and Spencer P Jones.

Took a stride when I lost my ride
for a DUI on the Mandurah line
If I sighed it was only pride
'cause I don't reside where I wish to die
In your head so shaved, why must you behave
in such a way that every one around
is moving away, waiting to be saved
And still you think you think you need to be so loud

I'm getting out of my head, I'm on the end of my chain
I'm laying low for the year 'til I can pay my way
Man if you're fond of the void, you can stay to enjoy
All the racist boys on the train

Safe and sound if it's going round
But I can't be proud if I nail it down
Suicide on the sunny side
of an urban sprawl with insecticide
In your concrete cave, how do you see the raid
You're bending over backwards in the ground
to give it away, just to feel safe
And still you never think to make a sound

I'm getting out of my head, I'm on the end of my chain
I'm laying low for the year 'til I can pay my way
Man if you're fond of the void, you can stay to enjoy
All the racist boys on the train

I'm running away
I can't stay
I'm running away
