Koala Sprint Lyrics - Head Injuries - Midnight Oil

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 going up north again 

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 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 

I hope it never ends 

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

Suburbs highway pass cicada-coloured farms 

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

20 hours to Brisbane on night prowl play 

20 hours to Brisbane...where's Brisbane... 

(Garrett/Moginie/Rotsey)
