  • 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 around
    They're pointed down
    They scan the spanning sidewalks
    Learning that there is no hurry
    Fuss or worry
    Adelaide

    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
    On Adelaide
    Adelaide
