lyrics

I saved the last until the best
A face lights up a room and you know the rest
This is the real thing this is not a test
Boy meets girl and east meets west

Oh my Kings Cross Baby you saved my life

In the heat of the moment in the heat of the night
We were staying in hiding we were staying alive
She looks to her left and I look to my right
I mumble something like you and me we'll be alright

Oh my Kings Cross Baby you saved my life
I was caught in the crossfire of 2005
As the carnival ended you brought me to life
And I still see you there as I turn out the light

We slip through the curtains into the night
We spread our wings and we take flight
She looks in the mirror and I look to my right
No one leaves here without a fight

Oh my Kings Cross Baby you saved my life
I was caught in the crossfire of 2005
As the carnival ended you brought me to life
And I still see you there as I turn out the light

Both of us we emerged unscathed from the joy and tears
And the casualties of the warehouse years
Both of us we made it through the storm somehow
Oh and I can see clearly now

Oh my Kings Cross Baby you saved my life
I was caught in the crossfire of 2005
As the carnival ended you brought me to life
And I still see you there as I turn out the light
