Pictures Lyrics

(Midnight Oil)

I just want to walk through paradise
I just want to see that clear, clear light
Don't want to be a member of species that's deceasing
Keep on making those promises that they ain't keeping

I can't go on living like this
I can't go on

Oh I was a talking to the people next door
They said they don't want to die in a nuclear war
Now we went walking down the old north road
We got a common cause, we got a heavy, heavy load

Because we can't go on living like this
We can't go on

Watching pictures of the world
Watching pictures as they pass me by
Don't stop at that light
Don't go out at night
Watching pictures of the world
Watching pictures as they pass me by
My artificial heart
Expensive spare parts


I've been a sailor on the sea, I've been a flyer in the air
I've seen a whole lot of bleeding hearts out there
They don't talk so much, I tell you they still care
Yes they do, yes they do

They can't go on living like this
They can't go on

They're watching pictures of the world
We're watching pictures as they pass me by
Don't sit around in silence, you don't need a license

Watching pictures of the world
Watching pictures as they pass me by
It's moving in a hurry, but there's no need to worry
We're really going to change it, the critical mass approaches
I can almost hear it
