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 forty

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



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 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

I'm in Adelaide

Adelaide

Adelaide
