The Beautiful Girls - Under a southern sky lyrics

The sunrise bleeds into the bay Landed in sydney, nothing's changed It's still so beautiful in ways i will never be The dogs are still in parliament And every summer day is spent under the shade down by the fence, cricket on tv. the desert cracks under the sun. the farmers wait for rains to come. we all have our own race to run, sometimes. and everything we read about, i would believe but i'm in doubt, on what's left in and what's left out, this time No way will we run No way will we run and hide Under a southern sky There's beach towels laid out on the shore Where no one needs or wants for more And all the radio is for is monotony An eastern suburbs housewife yawns And while the gardener mows her lawns We all just smile and play along And why wouldn't we? It's easier to be undone Than it is to stand and run It's easier to feel it's come, untied The dream they'll sell you isn't much like the reality but, underneath it all there's dust, and time... No way will we run No way will we run and hide Under a southern sky
