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
ATMs 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, 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
Were 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 hypermart malls
(Tell me what you see)
Don't want to talk about Elvis Presley
(Tell me what you see)
Don't want to see his white shoes
Walkin' around and around and around and around over here
The press baron's acting up
The mainframes are down
The newspapers crawling around on the ground
The medium or the message?
Still there's no one around
I, 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 pens of the mallee plain
The wind blew the soil to the Orient
We'll be shouting to the skies again
Now I, I could not believe
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
Were waiting for me
Now I, I couldn't believe
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
Were living in me, raining down on me
I, I couldn't believe
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
Were washing down on me
