Undercover Midnight Oil

[Verse 1]
Drive the Bowral road in autumn
The gibs on fire like a red plum
The burning colours beat the humdrum
As time goes by

I try to hold the vision slippery
The air is thickening in front of me
The scented gum it's a sweet sanctuary
As time goes by, ah yeah

[Chorus 1]
I've still got a clear eye
Bathed in soft sunlight
I'm feeling the magic of the day

[Verse 2]
The Chinese empires' up and fighting
They got their weapons hi-tech spying
I get the feeling there's no hiding
As time goes by

The song of more is now a symphony
Conducted by the kings of gluttony
And as the centre melts in front of me
As time goes by, by-by-by
