Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
Galahs 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)
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)
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, you’re 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
Galahs fly pink and grey and something (moves)
Moves in the dry grass beyond the fence

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains

If it was every day raining
If the sun never shone
I would not be complaining
Long as you came along

If it was only an ocean
I would swim it and see
Would you take to the notion?
Would you rescue me?

But how do you touch me from so far away
My pretense of sanity day after day
Lighten my load just to deal with reality
There’s no way round

What if I told you
I only live for the end
I think I’m dying,
Dying to know you
All over again

No way round (no way round)
Coming down (coming down)
When we’ve found ourselves so far from the ground
It’s insane (it’s insane)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
When there’s no way
No way round

Dying to know you

But how do you touch me from so far?
Does every step pull me to where you are?
A window of madness I’ll hold on somehow
There’s no way

Under the cover of darkness
I can always pretend
But it’s hard, hardest at night time

Coming down (coming down)
When we’ve found ourselves
So far from the ground
It’s insane (it’s insane)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
When there’s no way
No way round

Coming down (coming down)
When we’ve found ourselves
So far from the ground
It’s insane (it’s insane)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
When there’s no way
No way round

No way round
Every day rain
What if I told you?
No way round
Cover of darkness
No way round
No way round

This is so not real
Anything can happen,
It already did.
Did I wake too soon?
Was the only thing that mattered
You?

‘Cause I don’t feel

This is so not real
Anything can happen,
It already did.
Did I wake too soon?
Was the only thing that mattered
You?

‘Cause I don’t feel
And I won’t heal
I don’t feel
I won’t heal
No

This is so not real
Anything can happen,
It already did.
Did I wake too soon?
Was the only thing that mattered…

I wake up in the morning
And it’s just another day
Though I don’t like what I’m seeing
Think there’s got to be another way
I get up and I pull on my pants
Then I go downstairs and the only thing that’s slipping through is
So not real
So not real
So not real
So not real
So not, so not real
