I lived in Carlton for one summer
I think it was on Cardigan Street
With my best friends we party till the morning
Living off the left overs from Christmas Eve

I can't remember most of that December
I thought losing myself would set me free, but

How low can this car go
Drive it down as far as Sorrento
People crawling up the ceiling, we got photo evidence
My internal dialogue wasn't really prevalent back then

I remember faces, just not all their names
So many times disgracing myself
Like the time I got the scurvy, drinking Guinness and Wild Turkey
Acting like a pirate, just robbing my health

I don't remember most of that December
I thought losing myself would set me free, but

How low can this car go
Drive it down as far as Sorrento
Coppers are knocking at my bedroom door
Make sure they're not in bare feet there's glass on the floor
People crawling up the ceiling, we got photo evidence
My internal dialogue wasn't really prevalent back then

How low can this car go
Drive it down as far as Sorrento
Coppers are knocking at my bedroom door
Make sure you're not in bare feet there's glass on the floor
Surfing to the kitchen fridge for another beverage
Climbing to the city roof, see my lights of Melbourne
Friends are getting thrown in the back of the divvy van
My internal dialogue wasn't really prevalent back then

I lived in Carlton for one summer
I think it was on Cardigan Street"
