Think I'll bag that trip for two

Pack it up for Kakadu

Honey it's not for the weather

Or a lack of lovin' you

I got all this in between

Something I could not foresee

And all the deals I made don't matter

if I can't just let you be

Gone again, gone again

There ain't no way that I'm gonna' let this heart mend

Gone again

Walked in King's Cross for awhile

Gave a junkie girl a smile

We both traded in for danger

Or the company of strangers

She said all her family

Was at the welfare agency

then she swindled my last twenty

for a kiss and some poetry

Gone again, gone again

There ain't no way that I'm gonna' let this heart mend

Gone again

If I don't make Kakadu

I'll be at the Rainbow Room

I'll be courtin' some disaster

With the Melbourne wrecking crew

Honey all this is to say

Every dog don't got its day

If we take the love we're given

And we throw it all away

Gone again, gone again

There ain't no way that I'm gonna' let this heart mend

Gone again
