Last ditch desperado. Tore the temple down down down. Tore it down. Sermon on the mountain. Arrogance of heat & lust. Turn to dust. . Chorus ~. Don't swim where tides go turning.
Somewhere just along that line. He lost control. Singing sirens you ain't no shining star. And everybody said. Hey Mr Wayward Soul. Tell me who the hell do you think you are.
Way out west where the rain don't fall. Got a job with the company. Drilling for oil. Just to make some change. Living and a`working on the land. . I quit my job and I left my wife.
Watch the world turn, it's a slow burn. Smoking in the distant light. See the big sky, see it roll by. Day is turning into night. . All your troubles, dust and rubble.
Went a`walking in the sunshine. About a thousand Brumby ghosts. Hunters bushmen bandits. And fence wire on the posts. Felt that ebony skin. And felt the whole of the ivory coast.
No trouble gone away. Blues-weary lazy day. No way, no way, yeah. . No pressure, big sky. Coco-Cola, my Lai. No way, no way, yeah. . How many pitchers.
A long tall daddy. And his common law wife. Shuffled out of Buffalo. The comfortable life. Holding hands they went. To meet their maker. . Just an old fella.
Freshly showered jet jockey's. In the Chico Club bar. Drinking neat Wild Turkey. They smoke Havana cigars. . Screaming MIG fighter. In the Latin night.
Well it's a hard time for the traveller. And it's a high time for the poor. Something's very wrong here. This key won't fit the door. I'm gonna call a lawyer.
It's everywhere outside your window. Just beware, just you chill. Truth laid bare, if this don't get you. Next thing will. . The rag and bone man. He's trying to scare you.
I stood up for the first time when I was just eleven months old. And ever since that day mama said I never done what I was told. I never stood for nothing too much all through my schooling years.
I gotta message but I can't find the words to say. I should have a plan but I lost it along the way. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Somebody said, "Oh no, not him again".
There's a light in the valley. There's a heart all alone. And the door is always open. Go away from your window. Pull the shades way down low. And in a whisper, words are spoken.
Love is pain and days are rain. Can't see the morning light. Buddies go and lights are low. And nothing's going right. . Take your cares to weather fair.
We were going through the motions. You know I need you tonight. Yesterday is over, I got the red eyes. And you are my sight. . Hi, hi, give me a chance.
This river's running deeper. Water's cold as ice. This river's running deeper. Water's cold as ice. While we ricocheted from doorways. And rolled the liar's dice.
My ex-girlfriend, she's such a mess. She broke my window cause I didn't see her text. . Then, she went too far. When she keyed I love you. Across my car.
Looking out upon this endless day. Just got better now I must get well. Sometimes I think I'll never see. A whole wide world in front of me. There's always one more soul to sell.
When I look at you it's plain to see. You have the grace of an angel and the beauty of a dove. But now there's a girl staring back at me. She just can't see what I see.
Meet me down by the jetty landing. Where the pontoons bump and spray. All the others reading standing. As the Manly ferry cuts it's way to Circular Quay.
