Slam the door to show her she can't get your guard down
Take the dog for a walk to the dirty brown dam
Climb up on the bank, see ducks fly away
A duckling's left behind to find its own way
Sit down on a sleeper, throwing sticks for the dog
He won't go in the water, he always backs off
Rustle and a scrape, he brings another stick
Try to think of good things but you feel so sick
There's things on the horizon you don't wanna see
Things on the horizon you don't wanna be
Mother says it's time to put your dolls behind
Learn to be a woman, to grow into your life
This is the last refuge, the last refuge, the last refuge

There's a new day coming, you like the one you got
There's a new day coming, you'd rather it was not
Every day she's up on you, you have to shut her down
Every day it would be easier if you weren't around
You watch it getting darker, feel the cold coming down
Magpies call, sticks falling on the ground
The swerving lights of the boys coming home
Hear the car door slam, the round lights glow
Then the dog takes of, you're sitting in the cool
Pull another fingernail, watch the blood pool
On the white of your skin, the white in your mind
It's getting so hard to find a way to stay behind
In this last refuge, this last refuge, the last refuge

Then your mum calls out come home for some tea
Turn toward the house, toward the misery
You wanna find that duckling swimming round and round alone
More in common with you than your family at home
Turn back to the gumtrees and the days last sigh
A jagged strip of light along the jagged dark sky
Take in all the colours, walk back to your mum
On the edge of the lawn, the edge of your love
Then the dog starts barking, you quieten him down
It's all right it's just me, it's all right let's go home
It's all right it's just me, it's all right it's just me
In this last refuge, this last refuge, this last refuge of sanity
