An isolated life he lives People passing by with problems only he can fix And now it's me who's caught within the sticks Stories bleed as tinkering rings out The light begins to fall asleep as we all sit around The sense of something out there grows so real And I know, I can feel At the water's edge where the river runs high Corrugated road and a thousand cane toads Heat on the land like fever Different roads like veins The mind dreams further and deeper Into the black and past your reach Feel something move, but nothing's changing You're out of reach, but not out of sight "The country's strong out here," he warns Don't you go where you don't belong Or you'll feel it somewhere you didn't know you had Don't do no wrong Different lines cross in the sand New directions at stake Can't you see the dust in your hand? Don't let it tumble, don't let it break (Ooh, ooh, ooh) That's what he said (Ooh, ooh, ooh) That's what he said (Ooh, ooh, ooh) That's what he said (Ooh, ooh, ooh) At the water's edge That's what he said That's what he said That's what he said That's what he said That's what he said That's what he said That's what he said That's what he said
