examination of Oz legend

Lyrics

Sets my head aspin,
looking at strangers' heaven
on the road to Adelaide;
dit dum day, dah la la.
Dream ties where to when:
Lizard came on this journey
down the road to Adelaide:
dit dum day, dah la la.

The Lizard's lovely wife
stepped into the firelight,
then sent him home without his life:
dreaming daytime, dreaming night . . .
The moon up in the sky grows sunwise,
and withershins the sun comes down:
magic?magic all around.

Here I go again,
bundle up all my treasures,
take my love to Adelaide;
dit dum day, dah la la.
Love ties wait 'til then:
heaven on earth is coming
on the road to Adelaide.
Dit dum day, dah la la.

I know, asleep tonight, I'll see firelight
come sweeping up to fill my eyes:
weeping shadow, weeping light . . .
And the moon up in the sky grows sunwise,
and withershins the sun comes down:
magic?magic all around

Love might even win;
maybe it will, but then again,
the road's to Adelaide,
dit dum day, dah la la.
Dream ties now to then:
beautiful moon-girl changing
on the road to Adelaide;
dit dum day, dah la la.




If, in the dark of night, you see firelight,
then heaven knows, don't send your wife
seeking comfort, seeking life,
?cause the moon up in the sky grows sunwise,
and withershins the sun comes down:
magic?magic all around.
Magic, magic, magic all around.
