Lyrics

Took an early flight to Sydney
The weather was fine
Eased back, loosened the strap
Closed my eyes for a time
I was dreaming, dreaming,
Dreaming of the night
How would it go
In the city tonight
Captain speaks I'm out of sleep
The window frames the scene
Down below they struggle to grow
Struggle to keep, keep it alive
Can the land survive?
Up here the worlds collide
And the truth's layed bare
The city will only survive
When the water flows down there
'Cross the aisle, business man
Crunching the numbers
In flight magazines
Extolling the wonders
Of Beauty Queens, limousines
Stars that shine so bright
How would it go, in the city tonight?
Peter Andrews has found a way
To bring back the wetlands
Don't turn him away
Let's embrace what he's got to say
Could be our saving grace
Up here the worlds collide
And the truth's layed bare
The city will only survive
When the water flows down there
