Lyrics:
Drive the Bowral road in autumnThe gibs on fire like a red plumThe burning colours beat the humdrumAs time goes byI try to hold the vision slipperyThe air is thickening in front of meThe scented gum, it's a sweet sanctuaryAs time goes byOh yeahI've still got a clear eyeBathed in soft sunlightI'm feeling the magic of the dayThe Chinese Empires' up and fightingThey got their weapons hi-tech spyingI get the feeling there's no hidingAs time goes byThe song of more is now a symphonyConducted by the kings of gluttonyAnd as the centre melts in front of meAs time goes byBy, by, byStill living the high lifeChasing those bright lightsPretending that everything's okayWrapped up in our own flagCan't carry our own swagOver the precipice we swayYeah, yeah, yeah, yeahWrapped up in our own flagCan't carry our own swagOver the precipice we swayStill living the high lifeChasing those bright lightsPretending that everything's okayThat everything's okay
