[Verse 1]
New South Wales and Hollywood are burning piles of brittle wood
Cocaine dream
Making movies, making songs, gnashing teeth and glitter bombs and
Brightly feathered queens
Mother, father, sister, brother never seen the reigns
Of avarice and vice that fueled the flames
Set your hands in the air as you flail into the sea

[Chorus]
Oh, hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light

[Verse 2]
Wuyang princes on the wall, running wild in gilded halls
Drunk on money
Vaulted cеiling, gaping eyes that light streams through from bеhind
That's Western Power, honey
I've seen those flashlight eyes before
With gritted teeth outside the cas' at four
Howling at the moon, "Mother, please don't leave"

[Chorus]
Oh, hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light
[Bridge: Cowboy John]
Oh, yeah
High above the ocean
High above the mountain
Through the rivers
Through the waterways
Through the desert
A white stallion
A beautiful woman
On the horse with you
The ocean's gonna blow
The ocean's gonna die
Going down now, down
Way, way down
Going down, down, down
We gonna do it again

[Chorus: Nick Allbrook & Jay Watson]
Oh, hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light
Oh, hang a cross on me
In the screaming night
I wanna feel you breathe
And touch you in the pale morning light
Oh, hang a cross on me
Hang a cross on me
(Pale morning light)
Hang a cross on me
[Outro: Cowboy John & Nick Allbrook]
Oh, lord Jesus
I figured it out naturally
The trees and the leaves
The plankton and the bees
A man by no name
King of the road
Not much of a reign
(Oh, hang a cross on me)
King of the ????
Why do they have to borrow this?
Only ????
