Blow whistle blow
Down you go alive
The cage is falling
Like a comet in the night
Beads of sweat glisten
In the underground light
Smoulder boulder
Rock reeks fumes
Songs of the outland
Change colour when shift is due
And you’ve grown a little older
Seen bone blown smoking blue!
CHORUS
Grow city grow
Ten thousand men below
Bleed the burning womb
Make the sun-rock show
In the wider horizon
Where a million lifetimes flow
And you know the secret
That glitters and glues the best
Like the feathers of a dead bird
That feather the next bird’s nest
Jwanasibeki!!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,
Wo-hum-m-wo-hum!
Wo-hum-wo-lo-lo-ma!
CHORUS
Can you hear, can you hear me
Can you hear, can you hear me
In the wider horizon
There’s a life-song
All my life gone
In a mine song
I shake the world beneath your feet
‘Cause I’m just working a little bit
