One day   I slept such a long time   Womb-like   And I woke to find    The city a funeral pyre   Landmarks twisted   Harbour Bridge was lifted   Sleeping in the sea   In sweet harmony   See, all my life I'd waited    For nothing to do   Like a sickle moon suspended   Looking down on you   But you're buried by trouble   So I'll make do    Luna Park over the water   Clown's face grimaced back at me   Across the sea   So I climbed   On the back of a starved horse   Then I fell and I hit my head   Crawled back to bed   And there's no older brothers   Or women in the wing   Or cellar in the basement   To take away the sting   And you're buried by trouble   And other things   For see all my life I'd waited   For nothing to do   Like a sickle moon suspended   Staring at the view   Where they're all buried by trouble   But they'll make do   So I'll I'll I'll   Learn to build a fire   And I'll I'll I'll   Learn to mend and sew   And I'll I'll I'll   Try to wield a hammer   And I'll I'll I'll   Learn to pan for gold
