purple haze

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
Galahs fly pink and grey and something
Moves in the dry grass beyond the fence

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
The skyline pink on grey and something (moves)
Moves in the dusty room inside your head

The crush of a thousand lives beneath your feet
As you contemplate working in this heat
The flies enjoy the view across your back
And it never looked so good
It never looked so good

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
The skyline pink on grey and something (moves)
Moves in the dusty room inside your head

And it’s a feeling
It never looked so good from where you are
It’s so easy if you don’t make it hard
Get you in, get you off, got your heart

The rush of a thousand minds will steal your sleep
And so you lie awake, you’re sweating through the heat
And as you tumble into another day
The view still seems the same
But nothing stays the same

Never knew how dry dry could be but you made it through
No news is good
News is it’s looking dry again
And you can laugh, and you can cry, and you do both
You keep it to yourself
You share it with the world

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
Galahs fly pink and grey and something (moves)
Moves in the dry grass beyond the fence

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains

knee deep

Gonna put the the world away for a minute
Pretend I don’t live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away

Had sweet love but I lost it
She got too close so I fought her
Now I’m lost in the world trying to find me a better way

Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze and it don’t seem fair
Only worry in the world: is the tide gonna reach my chair?
Sunrise, there’s a fire in the sky
Never been so happy,
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Wrote a note, said be back in a minute
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don’t think anybody gonna miss me anyway

Mind on a permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishing my condition ain’t ever gonna go away

Cause now I’m knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
Only worry in the world: is the tide gonna reach my chair?
Sunrise, there’s a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

This champagne shore washing over me
It’s a sweet, sweet life living by the salty sea
One day you could be as lost as me
Change your geography
And maybe you might be

Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
Only worry in the world: is the tide gonna reach my chair?
Sunrise, there’s a fire in the sky
Never been so happy, never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Come on in the water it’s nice
Find yourself a little slice
Grab a backpack of lites
You never know until you try
When you lose yourself
You find the key to paradise

Why’d you call me today
With nothing new to say?
You pretend it’s just hello,
But you know what it does to me
To see your number on the phone.

Now tell me, what do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
Are you tryin’ to bring back the tears
Or just the memories?
You keep takin’ me back,
Takin’ me back
Where I’ve already been.
When we hang up it’s almost like
I’m losing you again.
Can’t you see?
So what do you want,
What do you want from me?

I get so tired
Of living like this.
I don’t have the time,
Neither do my friends,
To stay up at night,
To pull me through,
And to find the things
To keep my mind off of you.

So, now tell me, what do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
Did you call to say
You’ve find someone
And I’m a used- to- be.
You keep takin’ me back,
Takin’ me back
Where I’ve already been.
If you’ve moved on
Why does it feel like I’m losing you again?
Can’t you see?
So what do you want?
What do you want from me?

What do you want me to say?
That I’m content?
That I’m on the fence?
That I wish you would’ve stayed?

Oh baby what do you want,
What do you want,
What do you want from me?
To come here and make love tonight
Cause you’re feelin’ lonely.
You keep takin’ me back,
Takin’ me back
Where I’ve already been.
When we wake up and say goodbye
It’s like I’m losing you again.
Can’t you see?
So what do you want,
What do you want from me?
What do you want,
What do you want from me?
