(Hello?)
ย
Adelaide on a plane
Far from the United States of LA
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 L. Smith's 40
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
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
And you know, the Earth could turn or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Really gotta 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
I'm in Adelaide
Adelaide
Adelaide
