Lyrics for Poets and Slaves by Midnight Oil:
| | | Artist: | Midnight Oil |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Poets and Slaves | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | Here comes the mechanical sun
working on the bones in the dry old creek bed
mist on the old
river bend yellow box hangs like it's dead
the emerald silo is rusting from the
inside.
You want to run like the wind you'll never come here again
you want a world you
can save so c'mon you poets and slaves.
Circus olympia pulls into town
the dwarf and
the fat man head out for beer
there is no lion that roars to one can stand on the
horse
tomorrow is a no show the fortune teller cries.
You want to go down in flames
you're gonna crash like the waves
you can't remember your name so come on you poets and
slaves.
We got everything we need sugar and beef
we got some good ideas
we got the
steering wheels and rolling stock too
clouds came down low on the corn
meat ants are
gathering like storms
somewhere in the quiet wild darkness a crocodile cries.
You gotta
you gotta you gotta
c'mon you poets and slaves.
You got to arrest the decay you're
sinking down in the bay
you can't remember your name c'mon you poets and slaves.
You've
got to count what you've made
you're gonna pass like the days
stop time and head for the
stage.
And c'mon you poets and slaves
c'mon you poets and slaves. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
