Down That Dusty 3rd World Road Lyrics - Riskin' It All - Dad

Heart and clock slows down... 

And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound 

On a diet of water and thick air 

I inhale the heat and exhale my share 

Barometer's climbin' up their scales 

Heat shimmers and the horisont sails... 

I wouldn't know 'bout the governments policy 

But the waterhole-water looks like coffee! 

Time stopped'n'heart slowed 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down-down-down that dusty road 

Down-down-down that dusty road 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

A full 20 miles wide.. 

Lies glowin' pebbles'n'nothing beside... 

And man starts to boil 

Can't help being born above a lake of oil 

The distant battles don't shoot blanks 

- Soon it's goodbye'n'many tanks 

The long shadow used to read like poetry 

- Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee! 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down-down-down that dusty road 

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down-down-down that dusty road 

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down-down-down that dusty road 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road 

- Walkin' thick soled 

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road 

Yeah! Down!! 

To the road turns to sand...
