lyrics

I remember when i was seven, crying in the backseat
moving from Blackalls Park
"Hey Mum, Hey Dad why aren't we
moving to Hollywood? I want to be a star.
I'll be in the movies with River Phoenix and Martha Plimpton and we'll all star in a shockingly good sequal to "The Lost Boys"
and we'll all win academy awards."

The road was long - and I measured it in carpenters songs, the way I remember it - the road to the bush that day was long.
And I was praying in the backseat to Madonna, thought Madonna was
the daughter of the mother of God.

I fell in love with so many people, not just famous faces
some were whores and disgraces and I considered myself
lukcy and humble to be a devoted disciple.
If i could spend some time with the Guru,
touch the gilded glove lowered from above.
Some Frank N Furter for my Brad and Janet
A hero to blow my mind.

Oh but who can you trust?
When you're raised by corrupt governments,
lame marketing and religious nuts?
Oh who can you trust - When all you can feel is the lust and power
and it's a rush.

I don't remember a time and a place but it was somewhere
between the second season of Twin Peaks and seeing fear and pain
on my mother and fathers faces. I stopped being a child.
Forgive my strange sentience - passing the age where one of my heroes died.

Oh who can you trust?
When all you see is the grief and the cost
When your love don't last and love is crushed
between wars and banks, mistrust and yoru own disgust
and you start to notice the rot and the rust.

Well the road is long, and I probably shouldn't be wearing thongs,
I must have walked a mile by now in my Guru's Shoes
and I have no idea why I put them on - get them off me

Get them off me

If you see Buddha on the road you should kill him don't listen to
a fancy word he says.
