27 Miles from Carbla
27 Miles from Carbla
Beyond the 26th parallel
He's solid
She's special
He's solid
She's special
Headin' north in a furnace as hot as hell
In the morning he'll get things sorted in town
Heading straight up into that shimmer on the road
There's a shimmer on the road
Heading north into that shimmer on the road
Hoofs hanging from the road train
Heading to their final gate
A friendly wave from an oncoming car
A cynical salesman of real estate
He'll escape tonight from his nightmares at the hotel bar
Dreaming wide roads
White lines
Cracked headlights
And broken cars
When you're lying beside me with an ocean view
There's nothing in the world that I'd rather do
There's a red wildflower in the bush beyond
And the crow circles back to the thorn bush beyond
27 Miles from Carbla
I am gone
I'm undone
I am blown
I'm undone
I'm gone
I am blown
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm boned
I'm boned
The flyscreen creaks
And rattles shut as blowflies creep
Buzzin' round my sleeping cat
Buzzin' forth and buzzin back
Creased eyes
Shut tight
From grit
And dust and light
Busted headlights
Broken bottle
Strewn Landscapes
27 Miles from Carbla
Beyond the 26th parallel
He's solid
She's special
Heading north into that shimmer on the road
There's a shimmer on the road
Heading north into that shimmer on the road
And he'll escape tonight from his nightmares at the hotel bar
Dreaming wide roads
White lines
Cracked headlights
And broken cars
When you're lying beside me with an ocean view
There's nothing in the world that I'd rather do
With a red wildflower in the bush beyond
And the crow circles back to the thorn bush beyond
27 Miles from Carbla
Beyond the 26th parallel
He's solid
She's special
Beyond the 26th parallel
He's solid
She's special
He's solid
She's special
Headin' north in a furnace as hot as hell
In the morning he'll get things sorted in town
Heading straight up into that shimmer on the road
There's a shimmer on the road
Heading north into that shimmer on the road
Hoofs hanging from the road train
Heading to their final gate
A friendly wave from an oncoming car
A cynical salesman of real estate
He'll escape tonight from his nightmares at the hotel bar
Dreaming wide roads
White lines
Cracked headlights
And broken cars
When you're lying beside me with an ocean view
There's nothing in the world that I'd rather do
There's a red wildflower in the bush beyond
And the crow circles back to the thorn bush beyond
27 Miles from Carbla
I am gone
I'm undone
I am blown
I'm undone
I'm gone
I am blown
I'm gone
I'm gone

Heading north into that shimmer on the road
There's a shimmer on the road
Heading north into that shimmer on the road
And he'll escape tonight from his nightmares at the hotel bar

When you're lying beside me with an ocean view
There's nothing in the world that I'd rather do
With a red wildflower in the bush beyond
And the crow circles back to the thorn bush beyond
27 Miles from Carbla
Beyond the 26th parallel
He's solid
She's special
