Virgin soil
One can see the massive men
With their big beards and big bellies
Drinking beer right from the can
Welding steel machineries
Spending days on heavy toil
Pushing dirt through a water hole
Looking for gold in virgin soil
And the sun is never gentle
No women in their sight
And the diesel´s doing dixie
Pushing way into the night
Digging for gold in virgin soil
Midnight empty motorway
Dire Straights are on the air
The GPS is set for going home
But frankly I don´t care
A car resembles a mother´s womb
Destination yet unknown
An empire of solitude
Perfectly happy on your own
And with every junction passing
A stronger longing does uncoil
The exit I’ll be taking
It will lead to virgin soil
Digging for gold in virgin soil
Now passing the outskirts
Of my old, familiar town
I’d like to turn the wheel
But somehow I’m backing down
Digging for gold in virgin soil
...well I’ve got no beard... I don’t drink beer anyway...
...and this ain’t Alaska, is it... I do have a belly though...
...but massive… no
...and this ain’t Alaska, is it... I do have a belly though...
...but massive… no
