Pictures

Midnight Oil · Flat Chat [2006]

I just want to see that clear clear light

Don't want to be a member of a species that's deceasing

Keep on making those promises that they aren't keeping



Oh I was a talking to the people next door

Said they don't want to die in a nuclear war

Now we went walking down the old north road

We got a common cause we got a heavy heavy load



Watching pictures of the world

Watching pictures as they pass me by

Don't stop at that light

Don't go out at night

My artificial heart

Expensive spare parts



I've been a sailor on the sea I've been a flier in the air

I've seen a whole lot of bleeding hearts out there

They don't talk so much I tell you they still care



They can't go on living like this they can't go on



Don't sit around in silence you don't need a license

It's moving in a hurry there's no need to worry

We're really going to change it the critical mass approaches

I can almost hear it
