Hang a Cross on Me (feat. Cowboy John)

New South Wales and Hollywood are burning piles of brittle wood And cocaine dreams Making movies, making songs, gnashing teeth, and glitter bombs, and brightly feathered queens Mother, Father, Sister, Farmer, never seen the reigns of avarice and vice that fuelled the flames Sent your hands in the air and you flailing to the sea Hang a cross on me In the screaming night I wanna feel you breathe And touch you in the pale morning light Wuyang princess on the wall, running wild in gilded halls Drunk on money Vaulted ceiling gaping eyes that light streams through from behind That's western power, honey I've seen those flashlight eyes before With gritted teeth outside the cas' at four Howling at the moon, "Mother, please don't leave" Hang a cross on me In the screaming night I wanna feel you breathe And touch you in the pale morning light Oh yeah High above the ocean High above the mountain Through the rivers Through the water way Through desert I watched the skies Oh, beautiful woman I'm not watching you Where else you gonna move? Or else you're gonna die Going down, downtown To boogie-boogie town Going down, down, down We can do it again Hang a cross on me In the screaming night I wanna feel you breathe And touch you in the pale morning light Now hang a cross on me In the screaming night I wanna feel you breathe And touch you in the pale morning light Hang a cross on me Hang a cross on me Hang a cross on me I don't need Jesus I've figured out naturally The trees and leaves The plastic enemies A man by no name King of the world That much I'm aware (Hang a cross on me) Going down, down, down Just wait until tomorrow Oh yeah, God will take a crack at it
