《A.O.》歌词

[00:00:00] A.O. - The Presets

[00:00:08] A O

[00:00:10] Children mustn't know

[00:00:11] That we're living in a city that's built on bones

[00:00:15] A O

[00:00:17] All the army go

[00:00:18] Please enjoy this city before it explodes

[00:00:23] A O

[00:00:24] Here we here we go

[00:00:26] It's a pity it's a feeling I can't control

[00:00:30] A O

[00:00:32] The children mustn't know this is adults only

[00:00:38] Adults only

[00:00:42] Adults only

[00:01:01] Kookaburra sits in a tree I named

[00:01:04] You can feel the sorrow

[00:01:06] I can feel the shame

[00:01:08] Cause there's no-one laughing round here

[00:01:11] No more but he

[00:01:15] I flew back to the coast on New Year's Day

[00:01:19] Little plane tossed 'round by a southerly

[00:01:23] And when I stepped outside

[00:01:25] The streets were clean

[00:01:31] But I know deep down lies undiscovered

[00:01:35] Past the bone foundations of a town corrupted

[00:01:38] Under creaking piers

[00:01:40] Under iron cover

[00:01:42] Past the concrete crown of a million lovers

[00:01:46] Past strutting and swagger

[00:01:48] Under coreless rubble

[00:01:50] Past torn down shanties of forgotten troubles

[00:01:54] Through its ills and evils

[00:01:55] Past rants and ravings

[00:01:57] Lies the cold dark soul of an emerald city I

[00:02:02] A O

[00:02:03] Children mustn't know

[00:02:05] That we're living in a city that's built on bones

[00:02:09] A O

[00:02:11] All the army go

[00:02:12] Please enjoy this city before it explodes

[00:02:17] A O

[00:02:19] Here we here we go

[00:02:20] It's a pity it's a feeling I can't control

[00:02:24] A O

[00:02:26] The children mustn't know this is adults only

[00:02:32] Adults only

[00:02:40] Walking through the streets I can feel its sting

[00:02:43] Metal blue snakes screaming round this head I'm in

[00:02:47] Keeps railing all the way to bed

[00:02:54] And from the time it sleeps to its dawn awake

[00:02:58] City's dreams rang out like a melody

[00:03:02] "I finally recognize the tune " he said

[00:03:10] Through fears and fervour past lies and secrets

[00:03:14] Of ink stain panic stricken 5 star heathens

[00:03:18] Under storms of hell through tropical fevers

[00:03:21] Excitement of the first days of bushfire seasons

[00:03:25] All this planning disasters

[00:03:27] Monuments to the masters

[00:03:29] And the dog dark dealings of its backroom bastards

[00:03:33] Every long lost dream every failed endeavour

[00:03:36] Every ice beer trail of a rum rebellion

[00:03:40] Now I huddle these feelings of pity

[00:03:44] Watching new years colours rain down on the city

[00:03:48] Where our beautiful beaches suffer photo ops

[00:03:52] To watch schizophrenic tourists get shot by cops

[00:03:55] Generation of kids with the toughest teeth

[00:03:59] Still haunted by the visions of shocking ink

[00:04:03] Where little old ladies die afraid and alone

[00:04:07] Now surrounded by yuppies small bars and coke I

[00:04:42] A O

[00:04:44] Children mustn't know

[00:04:45] That we're living in a city that's built on bones

[00:04:50] A O

[00:04:51] All the army go

[00:04:52] Please enjoy this city before it explodes

[00:04:57] A O

[00:04:59] Here we here we go

[00:05:00] It's a pity it's a feeling I can't control

[00:05:04] A O

[00:05:06] The children mustn't know this is adults only

[00:05:12] Adults only

[00:05:16] Adults only

[00:05:20] Adults only
