Midnight Oil - Sell My Soul Lyrics

White light

Let's begin, I am ready, let's begin, ay
Sell my soul to him
Shed my skin, I just want to shed my skin
I don't want to sell my soul to him
Mechanize, city bursts and farmers die
They cry
Sell my soul to him
Sleep face down in a goods train heading south in the rain
I sell around
Sell my soul to him

In this world (in this world)
I often think you understand me
In these words (in these words)
I often think you'd recognize me
'Cause I just want to swim with the fish in the sea
And I want faith to heal so that I can be clean

Gonna wait for you

America's great now
But you don't talk back, you hide your face
Crawl in rubble and smile and scorn
At that snail-paced creature, going up and down walls
I, I just want to celebrate
I'm not going to sell my soul to him (to him)
When you look right in

Sell my soul to him, to him
Yeah, well, come on down
Sell (sell) my (my) soul (soul) to him
You gonna sell your soul
Now you're gonna sell you soul to him, yeah (to him)
Sell my soul to him
