Dexter and Sinistra

Dexter And Sinistra
Gallagher (universal)

Dexter and Sinistra they loved hard
they went together like cold beer and a hot day
too right, all the way

yeah, they lived every moment like the last
and that was fine for a time
but one day there were no more roses
just bad memories of too much wine

and things were said, too rich for young blood
and once said they never really went away
and there were tears and there was sadness and harsh words and guilt
soon cracks began to appear in the house that Dex and Sissie built

Sissie, that’s what he called her, she hated it just the same
one day she said “Dex, you know sometimes this bed feels like the Nullarbor Plain,
there’s this distance between us, I know you’re over there but I can’t feel you
and right now I could use a little rain”

but his mind was somewhere else,
something about the source of eternal fascination,
pretty soon his bags were packed, the train was pulling out of the station
he shaved his head and went to Thailand to find himself in the peaks and valleys there
but all he found was a room in the Bangkok Hilton
and a thousand yard stare
and all the time in the world,
so he wrote to her
wanted to know about the little things going on in her life
so one day she sat out on the veranda with a cuppa in one hand and a pen in the other,
and she wrote him the longest letter

[she said “there’s a big wind today and people’s washing’s in the street
there’s a concert in the park they sold more tickets then there’s seats
and, yeah, I still love you and I always think about you”
she sealed it with a kiss signed to Dexter from Sinistra]

there will always be hot days, can’t be too sure about the beer
but if you want the full love deal you’ve got to put in something extra
you gotta hurt, you gotta bleed, you gotta want, you gotta need
but most of all you gotta put in the hours
just like Dexter and Sinistra
