Midnight Oil - Koala Sprint Lyrics
And out from the echoes of the nightConcrete caverns catch the sky and hold the stars to ransomA thousand dreams its getting lateThousand runners standing stillI can smell the sand and sea againIve had enough awayCity times down downIve got to goLord dont let me waitStay lowcause Im going up north againIts a long way from chatswood to the top of the gulfIll be hitching pacific when the morning suns upIts mile after mile on the long coast roadSmell of frangipani ocean sky blueBut Im sick of seeing those beer can caravansIm getting even sicker of the thong drive-inIm feeling worse and worse at the chiko localloAnd the pubs all close at tenSummer suns got me stoppingSummer suns got me tryingIm waiting round for those waves and daysI hope it never endsWell theres a new world bricking in the old world charmSuburbs highway pass cicada-coloured farmsBuy a car, sell a car, lead a car away20 hours to brisbane on night prowl play20 hours to brisbane...wheres brisbane...(garrett/moginie/rotsey)
