Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Men huddling and shouting in the dark
Crying out for courage, for a spark
Illuminate the glass
Reflect the band of brothers as we are, as we are
[Chorus]
Who do we have to eat?
Who do we have to kill?
To get our foot in the doorway of the house at the top of the hill?
[Verse 2]
High on the fumes of petrichor
Why, it feels like mercury on the western shore
I died, I swear, when the ABC said we're going to war
I really believed we wouldn't fight no more, I
[Chorus]
Who do we have to eat?
Who do we have to kill?
To get our foot in the doorway of the house at the top of the hill?
[Verse 3]
Caught some sleep on Swanston Street, finished the Ferrero Rochers
And their bronze wings shivered in the wind, and ash fluttered down to sleep in your hair
I found love as the paper curled
And hope sinks like a pearl
It's a light plumbing the dark at the edge of the world
Of the world
