Before the breaking of the rain The temperature in the shade Had reached a hundred and ten again
On the overland telegraph line Don't take the law into your own hands Don't go looking for a fight
I've heard the bullroarers
Radio crackles and the bones bleached white
It's a knock-em-down storm Wild dog howls and the long grass Whistles and the tall trees break
I've seen the wild horses I've heard the bullroarers I've seen the wild horses
Shifting sands and broken plans Lead me on to my homeland
