1980

[Verse 1]
Long drives over the veldt
Head full of songs
Boxcars, old European
Occupied zones

[Verse 2]
Grey day, welfare hotel
Lost in the stars
With her all of my fears
Melt in the dawn

[Chorus]
Milk tea under the midnight sun
Not sure, why we were ever born
Storm clouds in the afternoon
Lonely in my hotel room

[Verse 3]
Late June, lost latitudes
The transistor hums
Street cars, indigo blue
Roll through the slums

[Chorus]
Milk tea under the midnight sun
Not sure, why we were ever born
Storm clouds in the afternoon
Lonely in my hotel room
Storm clouds in the afternoon
Lonely in my hotel room
