[Verse] Red dust rises like a ghost from the ground Kangaroo shadows jump without a sound Swamps in the South with their whispering trees A chill in the air but no breeze no breeze [Chorus] Down where the wild things creep Australia meets the Deep Deep South The land and the bayou speak In tongues you don’t want in your mouth [Verse 2] Didgeridoo hums like a spirit’s moan Cicadas sing but you're not alone Cotton fields sway like the ocean’s tide The outback’s grin and the delta’s pride [Prechorus] You hear the snap of a branch The hiss of the fire ants [Chorus] Down where the wild things creep Australia meets the Deep Deep South The land and the bayou speak In tongues you don’t want in your mouth [Bridge] Moonlight cuts through a eucalyptus haze Spanish moss drips like tears that won’t stay Snake trails and boot prints side by side Wander too far and you’ll collide
