Brother John by The Visitors (Australian band) Lyrics

When your last good eye is looking down to the sea
And your last goodbye has driven you to your knees
And then you walk alone in mystery
Brother John, Brother John

Face revealed in a radar light, ain't seen nothing in a million years
Reflected in head-up display, taste the blood within your tears
Your face has pulled too many G’s, living too far from the sun
Hit re-entry at Mach twenty-three, miss a chance to use your gun

He was fishing all day and sleeping in the sand
He killed a shark and ate it with his bleeding hands
Was a winter's night when the skull took him away
He was on the mothership where they used his brain

Face revealed in a radar light, ain't seen nothing in a million years
Reflected in head-up display, taste the blood within your tears
Your face has pulled too many G’s, living too far from the sun
Hit re-entry at Mach twenty-three, miss a chance to use your gun

Used his living head, or so I heard
No-one spoke, they didn't say a word
And now he's going and there's nothing that we can do
Are you so far you wish your life was through?
Brother John, Brother John
Brother John, Brother John
Brother John, Brother John
Brother John, Brother John
