Man who fell to earth (2x)
It's another tequila sunrise
For the man with the bloodshot eyes
A consummate professional
At overing it all up with lies
Another fortnight missing
So he went to join the AA
One last stop at a bottle shop
And he died along the way
Teardrops mist the hostel hell
There'll never be a place like home
Judges took the house and kids away
For a wife with a heart of stone
Drunks and thieves are family now
White lightning a breakfast treat
Fights break out over trivia
Welcome to life on the street
Watch paralympics on the TV
Former comrades rebuild their lives
Self medicated with the curtains drawn
All his injuries are deep inside
Decorations from a pointless war
Some things no man should ever see
Done things to tear a soul apart
Bitter tears won't set you free
