unknown

Sorry i am for the hurt i caused
Grieving i still do over careless words
As i move freely to a place
The debris i left behind comes back into my day

Out of time disconnected
Plagued by senses sweet desire, out of time
Out of time deluded
I plunged my hand into the mother load of love

In the rain calling out his name, i call, yes i call
In the rain falls on my shame it falls, yes it falls
In the rain

Life picked me up this morning and thrust me to the world
Like a child i

I'll give you something to write home about
And i'll take you somewhere, show you around
We burnt all the cars that laid down and died
We burnt all the trees to keep us alive
Sat 'round the fire, sang like a choir
With the ashes of civilisation in our eyes
I come alive, i read the signs on the gunbarrel highway

Far off a dull radio beats for the young uninvolved
The meaning's a football
A stick and a can and a kakadu man
Will the speaker speak up or the talker talk down
The world is no oyster and here in this town
Shit falls like rain on a world that is brown

I come alive, i read the signs on the gunbarrel highway
I come alive, and the children will sing as the
Satellite swings down that highway

Nothing could be longer than that corrugated road
No ever follows where the road trains go
And no where in the country do the dust storms blow so hard
So hard

I come alive, i read the signs on the gunbarrel highway
I hear the sound, it's the wheels as they drive
And the cultures collide on that highway
Ah, it's a hard day, the children will sing as the
Satellite swings down that highway
