Land Of The Midnight Sun - Colin Hay

Got a bad case of mumbles, I’m tripping and I stumble

My face is stuck in yesterday’s news

I stand up and wonder as the night’s raining thunder

No one’s saying just who lit the fuse

Meanwhile we’re swirlin' through space and time a-twirlin'

With so many stars in the sky

Everyone is guessing, hoping for a blessing

But who knows just what, where and why

Everybody’s crazy 'cept for you and me

And I don’t believe there’s better days to come

Lately I’ve been thinking, maybe we could run

To the land of the midnight sun

Everyone feels danger from the shadow of a stranger

But the killer may be closer than you think

He was such a quiet neighbour, drove a new LeSabre

Why just the other day we had a drink

Let’s have a reformation and call it liberation

We’ll save you from all of your sins

As they burned all the witches, the crowd were all in stitches

Those God-fearing self-righteous things

Everybody’s crazy 'cept for you and me

And I don’t believe there’s better days to come

Lately I’ve been thinking, maybe we could run

To the land of the midnight sun

My dream’s to meet you, at the top of Machu Picchu

And walk together into the sky

And I humbly do beseech you, as soon as I can reach you

To watch yourself, and keep your powder dry

Everybody’s crazy 'cept for you and me

And I don’t believe there’s better days to come

Lately I’ve been thinking, maybe we could run

To the land of the midnight sun
