Safety Chain Blues Lyrics by Midnight Oil

Safety Chain Blues Lyrics

    Hanging on like hell to the safety chain
    Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears
    All the lovers are in retreat
    Out on the edge of the nervous street

    So deaf to the call of the wild
    Deaf to the first born's whispering plea
    Expanding frame the city is in heat
    Burning at the edges of the lonely street

    But i want to hold your precious head
    I will not leave you nor pretend
    I'm going to hold you to the end

    Hey mama didn't know we'd end up here
    The snapshot is all tiles and red walls
    Down at the squatter's camps they cannot compete
    The shepherd has been bound up by his hands and his feet

    Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
    Great changes gonna carry you
    Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
    Great changes gonna carry you
