Heart and clock slows down... And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound On a diet of water and thick air I inhale the heat and exhale my share Barometer's climbin' up their scales Heat shimmers and the horisont sails... I wouldn't know 'bout the governments policy But the waterhole-water looks like coffee! Time stopped'n'heart slowed Down that dusty 3'rd world road Down that dusty 3'rd world road Down that dusty 3'rd world road Down-down-down that dusty road Down-down-down that dusty road Down that dusty 3'rd world road A full 20 miles wide.. Lies glowin' pebbles'n'nothing beside... And man starts to boil Can't help being born above a lake of oil The distant battles don't shoot blanks - Soon it's goodbye'n'many tanks The long shadow used to read like poetry - Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee! Time stopped'n'hearts slowed Down that dusty 3'rd world road Down-down-down that dusty road Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road Down-down-down that dusty road Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road Down that dusty 3'rd world road Down-down-down that dusty road Down that dusty 3'rd world road Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road Down that dusty 3'rd world road Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road - Walkin' thick-soled... Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road Yeah! Down!! To the road turns to sand...
