Walked down Swanston street, From the steps at Flinders street station Decided to be ironic and bought my coffee at starbucks Melbourne's quite particular about the coffee, served by a hipster in a laneway full of graffiti Watching the young as they dress for their tribe as they say, do, eat, imbibe in ways approved by the tik tok witchdocters Do i miss it? As a drink my starbucks coffee far from my suburban home. Youth is a passing dream, So importantly things seem Every dream Every moment a movie scene Expresso roast, coffee beans I overhear a conversation as I swipe my myki card About houses, avocado toast and how did life get so hard Watching the young as they dress for their tribe as they say, do, eat, imbibe in ways approved by the tik tok witchdocters As my train goes through richmond station ending my vacation I spare a thought for my own youth And those things i held as certain truth. Youth is a passing dream, So importantly things seem Every dream Every moment a movie scene Expresso roast, coffee beans
