Lyrics:

Why do they say that life is kinda like a highway?

I disagree, it’s all back roads to me

But I don’t need things explained to me like they are other things

I’ve had enough of these trite analogies

Sometimes I want to disappear, just fang off* in my car

And never come back home

Well maybe just 200km? It’s far but not that far

Is that really long enough? To rid me of despair and stuff?

How can I know where the Great Ocean Road will take me?

When I need to let it go, I’ll be drowning in that road

There’s something magic doing 50km/h round those sharp turns

All windy as shit, I can’t get enough of it

At 2am with all the windows all the way down

Inhale the awesome breeze from the Eucalyptus trees

I can’t stand to move too fast, to me it’s just inane

It makes me feel not good

It’s better driving slowly, let me drink that midnight rain

Let it soak my fiery brain, squirt it hard into my veins!

Leave me alone with the Great Ocean Road beneath me

It feels, I suppose, like the Great Ocean Road’s within me

I need it more than you’ll know, let me drown out on that road

How can I know where the Great Ocean Road will take me?

When I need to let it go, the Great Ocean Road awaits me

Leave me alone with the Great Ocean Road beneath me

It feels, I suppose, like the Great Ocean Road’s within me
