lyrics

John’s in deep for the ghost orchid
Bloodied his hands on a barbed wire fence

Moving target
Wires flex and bend

Collared making off with the priming cutting
The law would set him with some time to spend

Moving target
Flowers crossed and bred inside his head

He don’t go near the ocean floor
There’s nothing there he’s looking for anymore
He’s not a mile in from shore
There’s nothing there he’s looking for anymore

Scouring the bush for the perfect ten
The water seeping up to his chest and ribs

Moving target
Chances spread too thin

Scoring is preferred over life and limb
The subtle is a wolf of a drug to kick

Moving target
Prizes put to bed inside his head

He don’t go near the ocean floor
There’s nothing there he’s looking for
He’s not a mile in from shore
There’s nothing there he’s looking for anymore
