A Bad Debt Follows You – The Go-Betweens

Stand off, a stand off
We’re off to the send-off
You sit on the stairs
Lost in your hair
What’s that you’re wearing?
It looks like a necklace
Oh, how the stars
Shine on your face

I won’t stand
I won’t wait
I won’t stand for that
I won’t wait now I say
Another time in another room

Skin turned and held sweat
Lost in all it’s feeling
I fell in your eyes
I fell for your eyes
Pull back the curtains
Let in the dark
I’ll lie and watch
While your hair sparks

I won’t stand
I won’t wait
I won’t stand for that
I won’t wait now I say
Another time in another room
…

You told me stars would fall
You told me ice would melt
You told me everything
Now and again
A bad debt won’t wait
I won’t wait
