Karaoké King of the Mountain Midnight Oil

Walking through the high dry grass pushing my way through slow

Yellow belly black snake sleeping on a red rock waiting for the stranger to go

Sugar train stops at the crossing cane cockies cursing below

Bad storm coming better run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light rain in the valley below

Mountain in the shadow of light rain in the valley

Well, you can say you're Peter say you're Paul

Don't put me up on your bedroom wall

Call me king of the mountain

Blacksmith fires up the bellows cane cutters burning the load

Workers of the world run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light rain in the valley below

Mountain in the shadow of light rain in the valley

Well, you can say you're Peter say you're Paul

Don't put me up on your bedroom wall

Call me king of the mountain

I can't take the hands from my face

There are some things we can't replace

Hey aah

Mountain in the shadow of light rain in the valley below

Mountain in the shadow of light

Well, you can say you're Peter say you're Paul

Don't put me up on your bedroom wall

Call me king of the mountain

Well, you can say you're Peter say you're Paul

Don't put me up on your bedroom wall

Call me king of the mountain

Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat

Down cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheets

Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space down the road a familiar face

Across the wilderness out further than the bush

I will follow you

I will follow you

I will follow you
