Is It Now Lyrics by Midnight Oil

Is It Now Lyrics

    There's a man who walks the lonely field at midnight
    He wears a matching suit, steel tipped shoes and the diamonds
    And he holds the dying flame, the loaded dice and the answer
    He stalks the open road that leads form here to there
    You'd better look out, watch out, beware
    There's no safety here
    Crouched by the fence, sweat dries cold on your every breath

    Where's the saviour that the critics dream about now
    He's telling jokes to all the saviours in the ward
    Be warned when it comes to that, to the point of indecision
    When you hesitate, he'll make his choice for you

    You better look out, beware
    There's no safety here (no, no, no safety)
    Crouched by the fence, sweat dried cold on your every breath
    His eyes, they turn red
    You think and recall what he said

    He puts a name to every face
    Table talk and wall to wall
    Winners win the game, and the losers win the war
    Resurrection, intersection, comic books and mass defection
    Vinyl floor and sliding doors, nothing more
    Lost the thread of conversation
    Sentence fails and engine roars
    No recall, blindfold to the stairs
    Is it now?
    Is it now?

    (moginie/garrett)
