Jellyfish Song

All the hospitals are empty

The children are safe in bed

The prisons and politicians are all dead

The jellyfish have travelled down the coast to Bateman\'s Bay

The ocean is a hot tub and the skies are grey

We fight to feed our children

Water don\'t come cheap

Whatever is left in the bottom of the tin

We keep for you and me

We were married in a dust storm

Just before the war

Irukandji wedding guests swimming on the floor

You are

You are

You are

I could never take it away I could never be

You are

You are

You are

I could never take it away I could never

Didn\'t want nobody to touch me

I couldn\'t get up from my bed

I realised I\'d been killed from the things you said

So I left my body on land

And I travelled off far from the shore

Soldiers the size of your fingernail

Portuguese man o \'war

I\'ve got distant memories of swimming in the sea

When there was food before world war III

Never did make it to the great barrier reef

That one got away from me

Yeah I grew up by the beach when the water was cold

My mother had a garden where flowers would grow

And then the dust haze came and just one state north

Irukandji soldiers off to war

You are

You are

You are

We\'re done for, we\'re done for

You are

You are

You are

We\'re done for, we\'re done for
