MIDNIGHT OIL - Outside World lyrics

rate me

There's a wind on the eastern side

Ghost gums dance in the moonlit night

Mopoke mourns the racketeers

The bosses they can sense your mood

All in place to a hand that rules

They all want to deal you out

I can see the outside world

Everything's inviting in the outside world

Leaving all my problems in the outside world

It's the summer of another year

A little world weary a little more to fear

Hold those cards tight to your chest

Maybe someday you could be a man

Living quietly in a caravan

Not the Lismore road tonight

(Moginie)
