Midnight Oil - King Of The Mountain Lyrics
Walking through the high dry grass, pushing my way through slowYellow belly black snake, sleeping on a red rockWaiting for the stranger to goSugar train stops at the crossing, cane *****ies cursing belowBad storm coming, better run to the top of the mountainMountain in the shadow of light, rain in the valley belowWell you can say youre peter, say youre paulDont put me up on your bedroom wall, call me the king of the mountainBlacksmith fires up the bellows, cane cutters burning the loadWorkers of the world, run to the top of the mountainMountain in the...I cant take my hands from my face, there are some things we cant replaceMountain in the...Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heatDown cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheetsUp ghost prairie mountains of sunset and spaceDown the road at a familiar place, across the wildernessOut further than the bush I will follow you(hirst/moginie)
