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

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
