Neon Licks & Garden Gnomes

“Doin’ Tricks for Sticks”

Verse 1

On the corner ‘neath the neon glow,

There’s a kookaburra laughin’ with a garden gnome.

Shady little duo with a bag of tricks,

Sellin’ out the night, tradin’ licks for sticks!

Chorus

Ohhh, they’re down on their knees,

Playin’ the game, doin’ what they please.

Nothin’ too strange in the city mix,

Life on the corner, doin’ tricks for sticks!

Verse 2

Feathers ruffled and the gnome’s stone face,

Workin’ overtime in a dodgy place.

A gumtree stash and a wicked grin,

Everybody knows where they’ve been.

Chorus

Ohhh, they’re down on their knees,

Playin’ the game, doin’ what they please.

Laughin’ out loud with their midnight fix,

Life on the corner, doin’ tricks for sticks!

Bridge

They don’t need gold, they don’t need fame,

Just a pocketful of branches to keep the flame.

The kooka cackles, the gnome just kicks,

Hustlin’ together, tradin’ sticks for tricks!

Final Chorus

Ohhh, they’re down on their knees,

Playin’ the game, doin’ what they please.

Feathers and stone in the moonlight mix,

Workin’ that corner, doin’ tricks for sticks!
