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 Adelaide Adelaide
