And the legal pads were yellow Hours long paypackets lean And the telex writers clattered Where the gunships once had been But the carparks made me jumpy And I never stopped the dreams Or the growing need for speed and novacaine 3. So I worked across the country from end to end Tried to find a place to settle down Where my mixed up life could mend Held a job on an oil-rig Flying choppers when I could But the night-life nearly drove me round the bend 4. And I travelled round the world from year to year And each one found me aimless One more year the worse for wear And I`ve been back to South East Asia And the answer sure ain`t there But I`m drifting north to check things out again 5. Well the last plane out of Sydney`s almost gone And only seven flying hours And I`ll be landing in Hong Kong And there ain`t nothing like the kisses From a jaded chinese princess I`m gonna hit someHong Kong mattress all night long 6. Well the last plane out of Sydney`s almost gone You know the last plane out of Sydney`s almost gone And it`s really got me worried I`m going nowhere and I`m in a hurry You know the last plane out if Sydney`s almost gone
