Stars Of Warburton

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
