lyrics

747s trailing vapour in the sky
Fade into the distance where they say that fortunes lie
There among the huddled masses yearning to breathe free
You come to place your trust in the arms of Liberty

You come in search of Eden but you find no paradise
You thought that you'd be happy, you were wrong
You try to ride the rainbow and you have to pay the price
And wish that you were back where you belong

Far from your home, all that you've known
You feel so alone every day
Year after year, tear after tear, longing to hear yourself say
Goodbye

You gather in the mornings where's there's wages to be found
Building roads and houses, digging tunnels in the ground
At night you find the bars because there's nothing else to do
The whiskey flows like water till the tears are flowing too
