Lyrics A Burning Coast - Larrikin Love

A Burning Coast

At a tin mine we do stand
And here I realise that it’s all in my hands
At the tips of our feet where the waves stun the rocks
Where the sun steals the sand
Here I do plot
I bang my fists and I crush the cliffs
I scream out into the mouth
Of this cave, this fiery cave
This fucking world we cannot save!
So I start again, turn the wheel
I pierce my skin — I feel so real!
I’m a lovelorn shepherd — lightening skies!
The future blows into my eyes
So with a sense of terror and bewilderment
We damage our pasts with romance and hatred
So burn all your books, your videos and CDs
Forget all that has happened and wail down on your knees!
I take two steps back and tie my boots
I run and dive into the blue
I can feel the air redesign my hair
Redesign my life, and my cares
The deeper I swim the more I know
The more I love, the more I grow
