lyrics

I can't call you
'Cause you speak into the part you listen to
A long way off and I can't get through, I'm in Australia

Water flows
The wrong way down my kitchen sink
And hot comes out of cold, I think
I'm in Australia

WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND IT IS CLEAR TO SEE
EVERYTHING'S REVERSED OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE
TRY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN GO TO THE RIGHT
SLEEP IN THE DAY AND WORK IN THE NIGHT

CAT COMES IN CAT GOES OUT
ALWAYS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE DOOR
TV PICTURE'S UPSIDE DOWN, RADIO WAVES DON'T WORK

Australia, land of magnets
Land where I left all my microphones
Don't make me go back there, ah no

I can't call you, when I try to dial a number it laughs at me
As I can't understand Japanese, I'm in Australia
When I tried to drive my car to get some food
I backed into my living room, I'm in Australia

Where everything is backwards (MIRRORED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT)
Where everything is broadcast on television
And no one is safe from rocks

Australia, land of magnets, has a north pole and a south
Australia, land of magnets, there's no sound

Still I cannot reach you
The quarter comes back, the profits accrue
Still I cannot reach you
