On the Far Side of the Dollar Songtext
von Gruff Rhys

How does the ocean speak?
And how do the breezes talk?
How does the fire fly?
And how do the mountains lie down in the evening?

For your enjoyment
Tainted and tired
At your disposal
All your wildest expectations

Hills on fire
Cities burning, people mourning, tourists churning, sirens singing
Hills on fire
Dogs un-collared, children holler
On the far side of the dollar, on the far side of the dollar

Dust devils crawl the earth
Occasional twisters turn up
How do the dew drops feel?
And how does the moonlight spill beans on the matter?


For your enjoyment
Tainted and tired
For your fulfillment
All your wildest expectations

Hills on fire
Dogs un-collared, children holler on the far side of the dollar
Hills on fire
Dogs un-collared, children holler on the far side of the dollar
Hills on fire
Cities burning, people mourning, tourists churning, sirens singing
Wow, wow, wow, wow
Wow, wow, wow, wow
Wow, wow, wow, wow

How does the ocean speak?
How do the breezes talk?
How does the ocean breathe?
And how do the breezes talk?
How does the ocean speak?
And how do the breezes talk?
How does the ocean breathe?
And how do the breezes talk?
