Lyrics Goldmines - Josh Pyke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Goldmines

Dark night, it’s a dark night
And you can feel it, out with the big cats
And there’s a jaw trap, and there’s a razor net
And it’s a dark night
So paint your necks red
So we can see you
Vastness, there’s a vastness
And it looks empty
But it’s really full up to the brim
And you can taste it
Like a battery on your tongue
Electricity passing particle, to particle, to particle
And I’m gonna need some proof
I’m gonna need some proof
So set your traps right before I lay my money out for you
Decision or indecision
Is it safer to stay in the light where I can see them?
But there was nothing there
But you could feel the hum
And it could core you like an apple kid
Or burn you 'til you turn to dust
And I’m gonna need some proof
I’m gonna need some proof
So set your traps right before I lay my money out for you
Buzz saw in the ears for days
And there’s only so much a man can take
Before crack, crack, crack, cracking in
Buzz saw in the ears for days and there’s only so much a man can take
Before crack, crack, crack, cracking in
Car ride
We’ll take a car ride
Out to the country
To see the goldmines
See where that hill ends?
That’s where it all began
And it was teeming then
Now it’s a fucking wasteland, and it’s such a waste man
And I’m gonna need some proof
I’m gonna need some proof
So set your traps right before I lay my money out for you
And I’m gonna need some proof
I’m gonna need some proof
So set your traps right before I lay my money out for you
Buzz saw in the ears for days
And there’s only so much a man can take
Before crack, crack, crack, cracking in
Buzz saw in the ears for days and there’s only so much a man can take
Before crack, crack, crack, cracking in
