lyrics

Life’s a highway, doing it my way, whenever we make art
Life’s a freeway, lots of leeway, whenever we make art
Life’s a nightmare, see the light where, whenever we make art
Life’s a riot, you should try it, whenever we make art

Walking on a sunny afternoon down St Kilda Esplanade
Walking on that sunny afternoon take a sip of lemonade

Young and pretty, inner city
Wearing tight jeans, in the right scene
Old and crusty, staying lusty
Through the portal, we’re immortal

Walking on a sunny afternoon, through the streets of Middle Park
Walking home beneath the rising moon we’ll be lovers after dark

Bony and stony I was doing it only just to prove I could make it alone
Bernie and Tony told me I was a phony they suggested I should postpone
Untill if and whether I should get my shit together put the horse in before the cart
There’s always a remake whenever we make art

There’s the key change we can be strange
Backing vocals, Holy Smokal!
Truth and beauty, rooty tooty!
In conclusion, sweet illusions…
