Tell miss persistence she is not alone
Harriet Island was the place that we called home
Pack up your ancestors and send them far away
Tell them we're never going to get there
Are we ever going to get there?
No

Just a couple of kids
In the grips of it all
Catch us quick holding light begins to fall

Everywhere I look I see disaster's struck its hand
Everywhere I look I see disaster's struck its hand
Everywhere I look I see disaster's struck its hand
Everywhere I look I see disaster's struck its hand

Don't get too close
Why not?
If you touch it, it might hurt you
Oh, no (oh, no)
Where are you going?

Hey kid, get your camera ready
There's the scene of the crime
And it's looking us dead in the face
Hey kid keep that camera ready (keep that camera ready)
Hey kid, get your camera ready
There's the scene of the crime
And it's looking us dead in the face
Hey kid keep that camera ready (keep that camera ready)
