Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
Galah's 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 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 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, your 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
Galah's fly pink and grey and something
Moves in the dry grass beyond the fence

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
