Goldmines - Josh Pyke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra

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
