The Dreaming

'Bang!' goes another kanga On the bonnet of the van. "See the light ram through the gaps in the land." Many an Aborigine's mistaken for a tree 'Til you near him on the motorway And the tree begin to breathe. "See the light ram through the gaps in the land." Coming in with the golden light In the morning. Coming in with the golden light Is the New Man. Coming in with the golden light Is my dented van. Woomera. "Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- Me-me-me-me-me," Woomera. "Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- Me-me-me-me-me." The civilised keep alive The territorial war. "See the light ram through the gaps in the land." Erase the race that claim the place And say we dig for ore, Or dangle devils in a bottle And push them from the Pull of the Bush. "See the light ram through the gaps in the land." You find them in the road. "See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand." In the road. Coming in with the golden light In the morning. Coming in with the golden light With no warning. Coming in with the golden light We bring in the rigging. (Dig, dig, dig away) Woomera. "Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- Me-me-me-me-me," Woomera. "Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- Me-me-me-" Woomera. "Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- Me-me-me-" Ma-ma-many an Aborigine's mistaken for a tree "See the light ram through the gaps in the land." You near him on the motorway And the tree begin to breathe. Erase the race that claim the place And say we dig for ore "See the light ram through the gaps in the land." Dangle devils in a bottle And push them from the Pull of the Bush. "See the sun set in the hand of the man." "Bang!" goes another kanga On the bonnet of the van. "See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand." You find them in the road. "See the light ram through the gaps in the land." In the road. "See the light." (Push them from the) Pull of the Bush. "See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand." (Push them from the) Pull of the Bush. "See the sun set in the hand of the man." "Duremikaina"
