How to reach Australia for free, by flying in a tornado.

lyrics

BACK TO OZ

The story begins in black and white
I’m 55 and still trying to be
I’m waiting for the next tornado flight
To go back to Oz, for free.
(People from the farm: It’s a twister!)

The whirl takes me up, no business class
Wow! I’m 40…30…24
No seatbelts, no oxygen masks
I’m not in Kansas anymore.
(Dorothy to Toto: We’re not in Kansas anymore…)

Back to Oz Back to Oz Back to Oz Back to Oz
(Scarecrow: If I only had a brain)

I opened my eyes, they call it fade-in
Everything turned to a colour mode
My skin to rose, the grass to green
And yellow for the funny brick road.
Oh…

I’ve killed a witch with my family house
(Witch: Who killed the witch?)
Which witch is which, doesn’t ring a bell
Which witch is good and which is a louse
I’m too young now, I can not tell.
(Witch: Did you kill the witch?
Dorothy: No…)
Well…

Back to Oz…

(Witch: Going so soon?)
I stepped on the road, as mentioned above,
to the city of emeralds and the coast of gold
I need to know the definition of love
I’m too young now, and the story is old.

The wizard was fake, there’s a need for alarm
I have to decide the colour of the road
The Emerald City or the Kansas farm
I’m too young now, it’s overload.

Back to Oz …
