Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here we go, on the arc of the high and the low The tipping point of the to and the fro Though the seed blossoms slow It is now as it was long ago You reap what you sow And the wind still blows, the fire still burns And the water still flows Buried in the earth where the life still grows Heart still knows, and it tell you where to go I crossed over mountains, sat above the plains Couldn't shake the feeling that I'm part of something strange Off white glazed eyes under my shades Embrace the chaos and leave it up to fate Buildings suffocate the sky and hide it from me The land stretches flat for as far as the eye can see Lines run deep, from the ancient dust of the red centre Grey pavement of the inner city trendsetters [Pre-Chorus] The newest era of the human error And the water still flows, the wind still blows The life still grows Said the water still flows, the wind still blows The life still grows, the heart still knows Still flows And on and on it goes [Chorus] While the world conspires we try to read the omens See the form take shape as power changes hands It's the human era made of fleeting moments As the rock breaks down it slowly turns to sand [Verse 2] So we figure-eight just going through the motions Snap shots coming in and out of focus The Mayans, Aztecs and the Romans Each seized their moment to bear the onus What's spanned across time and places Gets left behind in faint traces From throughout the ages, the sands of time shift As we drift just looking for that oasis [Refrain] The rise and fall of all things big and small We sit poised in the middle of it all The rise and fall of all things big and small We sit poised in the middle of it all The rise and fall of all things big and small We sit poised in the middle of it all The rise and fall of all things big and small We sit poised in the middle of it all [Chorus] While the world conspires we Try to read the omens We sit poised in the middle of it all See the form take shape as Power changes hands We sit poised in the middle of it all It's the human era Made of fleeting moments We sit poised in the middle of it all As the rock breaks down it Slowly turns to sand [Spoken] Good evening, Melbourne. Good to see so many of you down here at the Listen Close Tour. On a Thursday night. We appreciate it, hope you're enjoyin' it so far, it's a little different, I know, you're sittin' down watchin' a hip hop gig. But just rock with it. Tonight we invite you to just suspend all that. Sit back in your chair. Take it all in. And listen close
