Biografía:
Joelistics grew up in Sydney, the offspring of a Chinese Australian father and an Anglo Australian mother, playing drums in punk and funk groups, but drawn to hip hop with its outspoken politics and ad hoc sonic cannibalism.
At the beginning of the new millennium, Joelistics took the first of a series of 'voyages' around Australia, working as a fruit picker, visiting hippie festivals and hitch hiking across the country, eventually settling in Melbourne where he discovered a city going through a creative boom.

[Intro]
Am C
G Am
You taught me that anger could be useful You taught me that pain was never my fault
[Verse 1]
Am
The streets are empty as shit, And we just ride them like ghosts,
In the place where we live, We've got no where to go
C
Pushbikes on the road, We take flight with the crows, The night sky above and tarmac below us
G
The city lights are majestic, off in the distance, Over the roof tops we float
Am
Above the dreams of a suburban night, We snuck out while my parents slept, Take a ride and we
[Verse 2]
Am
We ride our bikes to the bay, Take a walk of the wharf, Sit on the edge and light a ciggie like a torch and
C
You turn and you talk to me, I'm looking away, I'm listening to every single thing that you say
G
You say "The future's bright man, tomorrow is ours, And there will come a day soon where we leave this town"
Am
The clouds they start to gather and we get up and leave, And we're home before the dawn even touches the trees
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm saying, It's more than with your own life you are playing
G Am
And I understand you, My friend, I've fucked up too, But I'm just saying, yeah I'm just saying
[Verse 3]
Am
We always said that these suburbs were like cemetery, You always said you'd escape that's what you said to me
C
You got away, not in the way that you thought, Now I'm walking along old tracks and I'm looking for yours
G
And in the middle of similar looking scenes, As I step off from the gutter and gather the things I need
Am
Midnight light makes the night life look lifelike, The antennas and tennis courts, this town is menopause
[Verse 4]
Am
And yeah I know my way around, and I could play it down,
The streets are like the back of my hand And memories abound
C
but now it's different, I'm different, the difference is that I visit,
I don't stick around, I don't even miss it,
G
I get a vision of a version of my highschool days, Most weekends you would spend at my place,
Am
Your face is in these streets and it haunts me now, That's why I struggle when I head homebound
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm saying, It's more than with your own life you are playing
G Am
And I understand you, My friend, I've fucked up too, But I'm just saying, yeah I'm just saying
[Verse 5]
Am
You always had your own rhythm, To keep the comedy coming,
You were as close as a brother man, I think of you often
C
How you talked with a passion, How you rationed you cash, You stood six foot tall above the rats
G
You had a habit of thinking you were the Smartest motherfucker in the room And it was generally true
Am
On the real you were a hero, A friend of the highest order,
A companion when the girls that we chased Were all we thought of
[Verse 6]
Am
Whoever you are, wherever you're from We all get given time then it's time to move on
C
One day you're in the midst of it, The next you are gone, And if you think it's different to that you're wrong
G
Life's an addiction, we're all in the nod, And it's a beautiful dream so dreamer dream on, Breathe in,
Am
remember everything from the start, The end is the beginning, the beginning is past
[Verse 7]
Am C
First thing I noticed was just how thin you'd got now the powerful mind that you once held was lost
G
And in the little corridor out of the corner of my eyes,
Am
I saw your eyes close, the tired lines on your face grew
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm saying, It's more than with your own life you are playing
G Am
And I understand you, My friend, I get fucked up too, But I'm just, but I’m just. But I’m just, but I’m just,
Am C G
but I'm just saying, but I’m just saying, yeah I’m just saying, that I understand you, cause I get fucked
Am
up too, yeah I’m just saying, I’m just saying.
