Maralinga

(spoken)

I come from a land of wide open spaces

Where the world turns around us and we just follow suit

There's heat in the air and peace reigns supreme

Got white flags on the clothes lines and the deals are new



In the wind, the ashes fly

The poison crown, the charcoal ground



And if you can't see the smile in me

That's where i want to be



There's only god, there's only christ

Think i'll lie down, for just a while



So watch and check them out and listen as we learn

Throw the pearls before the swine, ebb and flow and turning tide

Yes we watch and catch them down no matter how they jump

The pigs will have to come to ground,we've got to make it happen now

It's not really that new, try and make it happen now

What are we to do, maybe there's a chance for you



All around, an eerie sound

Their dreams a cloud, their world in shrouds

In the wind, the ashes fly

Not much time, but time to try

And if you can't see the smile in me, that's where i want to be

I want to be here at the, i have to be here at the end



(moginie/garrett)
