Lyrics (unofficial)

Version on the Hex album Hex

[rev. May 28, 2015]

Oh, it's just an arrangement
No, I don't care if they see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Ohh, it's just an arrangement
No, I don't care if they see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What I crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Make an arrangement with me

 

Version on Steve Kilbey: Acoustic & Intimate

[rev. Sept. 8, 2013]

Ahh, it's just an arrangement
I don't care if you see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Ahh, it's just an arrangement
Aw, I don't care if you see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Make an arrangement with me

 

Full Version on Freaky Conclusions

[rev. Sept. 9, 2013]

Standing in the daylight, songs upon the air
Cactus and the midnight, the pricks of despair
You say that you're not leaving, you say you don't care
I stare into the evening until I find it everywhere

Now, shadow and deception
Now, chaos or conception
Now, feelings fall away
The things we loved, the things we left today

She lived upon a ranch, oh, a hundred miles behind
Mistakes and sweet romance, oh, I really lost my mind
You say you fled the borders and they treat you kind
But deeper into winter you'll wonder what you've signed

How, the time passed so unnoticed
How, our cause was so unfocussed
How, feelings fall away
The things we loved, the things we kept today

And, oh, it's just an arrangement
No, they don't care if you see
You think you're sick of being yourself
And what you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Leaning on the rails that gleam into the shade
Drinking back our thirsty jokes, the dust, the dust of a parade
The captains pass and swagger, women's costume change
Your brother with a dagger, and then it starts to fade

Now, shadow and deception
Now, chaos or conception
Now, feelings fall away
The things we loved, the things we left today

A hotel looms beside me, painted white and blue
There's nowhere left to hide me, except inside of you
Our beasts are packed and ready, the sand begins its song
The sun is strong and steady, its life is young and long

How, the time passed so unnoticed
How, our cause was so unfocused
How, feelings fell away
The things we loved, the things we kept today

Oh, it's just an arrangement
No, they don't care if you see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

[Repeated 2 more times]

Oh, an arrangement
Oh, an arrangement
