"Hello?"
ย
Adelaide, on a plane
Far from the United States of L.A
Dropping in from outer space takes a day
Now I see the bogans at the motor race
Here you know the world could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Going where the air is clear
There's better beer
In Adelaide
Charlie Hill, Smiths for tea
Someone spiked my rice, the rest: history
Now I am a fixture down Rundle Mall
Watching as the locals pass silver balls
I can see their eyes are round
They're pointed down
They scan the spanning sidewalks
Learning that there is
No hurry fuss or worry
Adelaide
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
ย
It's raining in Adelaide
A face is waiting in a window
A voice says, "Why Adelaide?
You could live anywhere" and I say
"Because I want to
Because I want to
I really, really want to"
ย
And you know the earth could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Really got to make it to the finish line
Get the record done on time
Pack the bags and catch a flight
And you can kiss my ass goodbye
ย
I'm in Adelaide
Adelaide
Adelaide
Adelaide
