There's something in the air that's rotten
Feel the heat from fires long gone
The bush returns the burn remains
When we don't learn we're forced to change
Sooner or later

What we don't see is only an illusion
Like water in a dried-up creek bed
Bull ant knows it's gonna rain
Don't think so hard- we can be the same
Sooner or later

Yellow, black and red on white
Why do I sleep with the light
When yesterday is so far away?
The sheets are yellow, black and red
I'll help you make the bed
And then lie right down, turn out the light

Wide and brown and drowning in confusion
There's only me and footsteps everywhere
Wombat know which way to go
Won't talk so fast and move so slow
Sooner or later

Yellow, black and red on white
Why do I sleep with the light
When yesterday is so far away?
The sheets are yellow, black and red
I'll help you make the bed
So we can lie right down
without the light

Yellow, black and red on white
Why do I sleep with the light
When yesterday is so far away?
The sheets are yellow, black and red
I'll help you make the bed
So we can lie right down
Lie right down
Turn out...

Sooner or later
