Midnight Oil
Minutes to Midnight
Everybody say god is a good man
(Minutes to midnight)
Everybody say god is a good man
(God is a good man)
Ah, clock on the world
(Yes he's a good man)
Driving a dump truck up to the sun
(Is he a soul man?)
A sigh in the human heart
(Three sides to every God)
I look at the clock on the wall
It says three minutes to midnight
Faith is blind when we're so near
Phar Lap floating in a jar
(Sounds like an ending)
Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies
(Minutes to midnight)
Truth gets harder to define
(Wings like a satellite)
Talking, talking in tongues
But the dancer's hand grips the rail
And fingers will blister on the 88's
Hope drains out of the side of the page
But ears can't hear
What eyes don't see
And you can't see me
Everybody say God is a good man
(Minutes to midnight)
Everybody goes 1,2,3
(Staring at green lights)
Set up those gunsights in H.G. Wells backyard
(God is a good man)
I.C.B.M's, S.S.20's they lie so dormant they got so many
Remember your childhood
Remember the journey
Hope is what you say and do
But ears don't hear
What eyes can't see
And you can't see me
But ears can't hear
What those eyes don't see
And you can't see me
But ears can't hear
What those eyes don't see
And you can't see me
