Midnight Oil - Maralinga Lyrics
(spoken)I come from a land of wide open spacesWhere the world turns around us and we just follow suitTheres heat in the air and peace reigns supremeGot white flags on the clothes lines and the deals are newIn the wind, the ashes flyThe poison crown, the charcoal groundAnd if you cant see the smile in meThats where I want to beTheres only god, theres only christThink Ill lie down, for just a whileSo watch and check them out and listen as we learnThrow the pearls before the swine, ebb and flow and turning tideYes we watch and catch them down no matter how they jumpThe pigs will have to come to ground,weve got to make it happen nowIts not really that new, try and make it happen nowWhat are we to do, maybe theres a chance for youAll around, an eerie soundTheir dreams a cloud, their world in shroudsIn the wind, the ashes flyNot much time, but time to tryAnd if you cant see the smile in me, thats where I want to beI want to be here at the, I have to be here at the end(moginie/garrett)
