lyrics

I used to walk around with my head stuck in the clouds
Through empty city squares with no one else around

Everyone else stayed indoors
While I walked through empty shopping malls
Where all the stores were closed
No cars, no buses on the roads

I was 14 years old screaming, "Why Lord? Why?"

Now every city in the world
Every city in the world
Every city in the world's like Canberra in the 70s
On a Sunday every city in the world's like Canberra

And I never knew I learnt so much from these lonely, lonely years
About loneliness
How to never see another living soul
And not get too stressed

Now every city in the world.
Every city in the world

Every city in the world's like Canberra in the 70s.
On a Sunday every city in the world's like Canberra

And the days the weeks the months would pass
And I'd never see another living soul and not get too stressed

14 years old as previously mentioned
stuck in the opening scenes
Of the Omega Man

Now every city in the world.
Every city in the world

Every city in the world's like Canberra in the 70s.
On a Sunday
Every city in the world's like Canberra

Every city in the world's like Canberra in the 70s
On a Monday
Every city in the world's like Canberra
On a Tuesday
Every city in the world's like Canberra in the 70s
On a Wednesday
Every city in the world's like Canberra
On a Thursday
Every city in the world's like Canberra in the 70s
On a Friday
Every city in the world's like Canberra
On the sabbath

Every city in the worlds like Canberra in the 70s
On a Sunday
On a Sunday
On a Sunday
