Petrol Blue by Epic Problem Lyrics

Petrol blue was the colour of the sky that day
When we plotted and we schemed, we planned our getaway
Gotta get out of this godforsaken one horse fucking town
And I'm never coming back, I'm never turning round

And the grass might not be greener
Doesn't matter I'm colour blind
The streets might not be paved with gold
But I know to me they'll shine
Gotta get away from small minded small town mentality
Away from casual racist and cod philosophy

But it's a long way down from the top back to the bottom
Tired of everybody getting in your face
Yeah it's a long way down from the top back to the bottom
When you've hit every branch along the way

Bitter sweet was the taste in the air that night
Razor sharp was the thorn that stuck into my side
Anachronistic plotted history I've heard a thousand fucking times
You're a living premonition just too ugly to disguise
But it's a long way down from the top back to the bottom
Tired of everybody getting in your face
Yeah it's a long way down from the top back to the bottom
When you've hit every branch along the way

And as I write away my chance to get away as far as I can
My past ingrained into my future as I fall back down again
Those stars shine brightest on the darkest nights
But I long for the days
With all my dreams in front of me
Behind that petrol haze

It's a long way down from the top back to the bottom
Tired of everybody getting in your face
Yeah it's a long way down from the top back to the bottom
When you've hit every branch along the way

It's a long way down
It's a long, long fucking way
It's a long way down
It's a long, long fucking way
