Riding around outside the edges of town
I watch the mist rising off of the water
Beautiful sight as all the birds take to flight
Leave me standing in awe at the border
Thoughts they surge and these fears always breed when I'm alone
Fight the urge to - to put them all down inside the phone
Despite what's been shown

And there are times - there are times - when I feel enveloped by it all
There are times when he feels enveloped
And there are times - there are times-  when I think that I'm in Midnight Oil
There are times when he thinks that he's in Midnight 
As I pick myself up from a fall
And I strut the stage defiant and tall
Yet through the sounds, I can feel a reason for it all

Driving around the streets of old country towns
Feel the weight lifting off of my heart
Away from the race to gain position and place
Among the dried up and broken I start
To fight the urge to release all this anger that has grown
Thoughts they surge and I shout it out in one big moan
In words not my own

And there are times -there are times - when I feel bewildered by it all
There are times when he feels bewildered
And there are times -there are times - when I dance like I'm in Midnight Oil
There are times when he dances like he's in Midnight -
And there are times when I just have a spray
As my hands go all electric and splay
And through the tunes I can find a reason for the toil

With windows wide open and stereo
Thumping and pumping it out at full bore
You sing in a moment unguarded
And feel your soul's started to lift up and soar
Attuned to the situation as the darkness inside
Makes a mass migration away
Away to some town off the map
Where you don't give a crap
You don't feed it no more

Riding around outside the edges of town
I watch the mist rising off of the water
