Stars Of Warburton Lyrics - Blue Sky Mining - Midnight Oil

I, I was, I was shaken down in a toy town 

He, He's out there 

You know it's Kennedy's shadow from White Cross to Michigan 

ATM's, are in the air, oh yeah machines they are spinning out everywhere 

The speaker is speaking 

Can you hear the sound 

The listener is listening as he hits the ground 

The medium or the message but there's no one around 

I couldn't believe 

I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton were waiting for me 

We were dancing, we were dancing on the plain 

We're looking through the window didn't see any buffalo there 

We got our pipe dreams, they went up in smoke dreams 

Burn it clean in the climate control, of your hypermark malls 

Don't want to talk about Elvis Presley 

Don't want to see his white shoes walking around 

And around and around over here 

The press baron's acting up the mainframes are down 

Newspapers crawling around on the ground 

The medium or the message still there's no one around 

I couldn't believe 

I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton were waiting for me 

Over the hills and mountains we go, so far, so far away 

For the ring of the axe on the ironbark, for the smell of the wallaby stew 

From the golden reefs to the sandstone cliffs 

Came the sheep of the Mallee plain 

The wind blew the soil to the Orient, we'll be shouting to the skies again 

I couldn't believe 

I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton were waiting for me 

I couldn't believe 

I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton were living in me 

Raining down on me, were washing down on me 

(Moginie/Garrett)
