I've been shufflin' down the Redfern streets,nBackyards without a lawnnAnd the yella haze that's in the air,nIt seems to grab your lungsnnI've been standin' downtown Central,nLeavin' teardrops on the ground,nAnd I feel so isolated,nI'm scared of sinking downnnEach and every day,nLife goes on the same,nAnd it seems there is no chance,nFor a lonesome Redfern mannnDown in ever dingy hallway,nAnd every lifeless mind,nThey all got so past caring,nThat they've been left behind
