[ Featuring Cowboy John ]
New South Wales and Hollywood are burning piles of brittle wood and
Cocaine dreams
Making movies making songs, gnashing teeth and glitter bombs and
Brightly feathered queens
Mother, father, sister, farmer never seen the reigns
Of avarice and vice that fueled the flames
Sent your hands in the air and you flail into the sea
A-hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light
Wuyang princes on the wall, running wild in gilded halls
Drunk on money
Vaulted ceiling, gaping eyes, light streams through from behind
That's Western Power, honey
I've seen those flashlight eyes before
With gritted teeth outside the Cas' at four
Howling at the moon "Mother, please don't leave"
A-hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light
Oh yeah
High above the ocean
High above the mountains
Through the rivers
Through the waterways
Through the desert
I watched down on you
Oh beautiful woman
I'm not watching you
And where else you gonna move?
Where else you gonna die?
Going down-downtown
To boogie-woogie town
Going down-downtown
We can do it again
A-hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light
A-hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light
Hang a cross on me
Hang a cross on me
(Hang you cross)
Hang a cross on me
Oh Lord Jesus
I've figured out how to be
The trees and leaves
The plastic enemy
A man by no name
King of the world
Not much of a reign
(Hang a cross on me) kill 'em with (?)
Why do you have to borrow this?
