Koala Sprint

Midnight Oil · Head Injuries [1979]

And out from the echoes of the night

Concrete caverns catch the sky and hold the stars to ransom

A thousand dreams, it's getting late

Thousand runners standing still, I can smell the sand and sea again

I've had enough, away

City times down, down

I've got to go, Lord, don't let me wait

Stay low 'cause I'm, I'm going up north again

Well, it's a long way from Chatswood to the top of the gulf

I'll be hitching Pacific when the morning sun's up

It's mile after mile on the long coast road

Smell of frangipani, ocean sky blue

But I'm sick of seeing those beer can's caravans

I'm getting even sicker of the thong drive-in

I'm feeling worse and worse at the Chiko Locallo

And the pubs all close at ten

Summer sun's got me stopping

Summer sun's got me trying

I'm waiting round for those waves and days

Summer sun's got me stopping

Summer sun's got me trying

I'm waiting round for those waves and days

I hope it never ends, never ends

Summer sun's got me stopping

Summer sun's got me trying

I'm waiting round for those waves and days

I hope it never ends

Summer sun's got me stopping

Summer sun's got me waiting

Solar [Incomprehensible] treat with friends

I hope it never ends

Well, there's a new world bricking in the Old World charm

Suburbs, highway pass cicada-colored farms

Buy a car, sell a car, lead a car away

Twenty hours to Brisbane on a night prowl play

Twenty hours to Brisbane, where's Brisbane?
