MIDNIGHT OIL - Nothing Lost - Nothing Gained lyrics

rate me

In my world there are sorrows

I'd rather drown in happiness

Come the morning, when the darkness through

That story's bound to change

And in my world

And in my world

It's all the same

And nothing's ventured, nothing's gained

And nothing's lost and nothing's changed

Go and jump aboard the train of freedom

It's a one way fare

You can find out now that when the tunnel's through

Your ticket's vanished, forgotten you

And in my world...

Turn up the TV, make the music loud

Better to ignore the rabid dog baying at your door

Draw the blind, change the channel if you dare

Better to say, I don't care

And in my world...

You hear the bell, you know it's time to jump off

Cause there's nothing at the platform's edge again

It's too late

It's over to you

(Moginie)
