Текст песни Midnight Oil - King Of The Mountain

Walking through the high dry grass
Pushing my way through slow,
Yellow belly black snake
Sleeping on a red rock
Waiting for the stranger to go.
Sugar train stops at the crossing
Cane cockies cursing below,
Bad storm coming,
Better run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light
Rain in the valley below
Mountain in the shadow of light
Rain in the valley below,
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me king of the mountain

Blacksmith fires up the bellows,
Cane cutters burning the load,
Workers of the world
Run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light
Rain in the valley below
Mountain in the shadow of light
Rain in the valley below,
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me king of the mountain

I can't take the hands from my face
There are some things we can't replace

Mountain in the shadow of light
Rain in the valley below
Mountain in the shadow of light,
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me king of the mountain,
Well you can say you're Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me king of the mountain

Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat
Down cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheets
Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space
Down the road at a familiar place
Across the wilderness
Out further than the bush
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
