about

A road trip from somewhere south of Gympie, along the scenic rim and out to Moree. The highway whispers its seductive call to journey back into memories of the things we'd rather forget, travelling song lines laid down millennia before any bitumen.

lyrics

Somewhere south of Gympie
she vanished into mist
under shadow of the head frame
memory might lie

Broken cup exclaiming fragments
of St Georges parish hall
we split the cost of fuel and coffee
out to Mooree

The highway whispered two or more to three

They slipped across the border
humber silent running
clouds lift on the scenic rim
singing hymns to sin

Beauty, distance magnifies
silo's silent rust
across the face of land
uplift hopelessness

The highway whispered two or more to three

Swallowed up the baited lie
nomadic heads retold
landscape full of flatness
wasteland in our spoil

The sky was no protection
stood beside the rain
cowgirl dripped with bleeding heart
her monotheist girlfriend with a polyamorous brain
