"Purple Trees (And Golden Turtles)" by South African rock band, Neon District.
Lyrics:
Wake up in the morning
When my phone was ringing
Had beer in my head
And my brain was spinning
The voice on the other end
Was very concerned
It said I gotta get up
And get some rubber burned
Said I gotta find the place
Where the trees are purple
The ground is orange
Beneath the shadow of a steeple
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
Don't know where your next stop is gonna be
A penny in your pocket, not a single pair of socks
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
So I grabbed my friend
And I grabbed my keys
I jumped in my car
And headed for those trees
With no clue where we're going
We asked the special voice
Where on earth we could
Find the magical place
Spitter spatter went the car
When we realised we had no fuel
And for a change
We knew exactly what to do
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
Don't know where your next stop is gonna be
A penny in your pocket, not a single pair of socks
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
First thing to do
Was to fill it up with juice
We were back on the road
With no time to lose
Next thing we knew
We had to stop
When that crazy little voice
Told us we were lost
We drove and drove
And were happy to see
we finally found the place
We had to be
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
Don't know where your next stop is gonna be
A penny in your pocket, not a single pair of socks
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
Indeed the ground was orange
And the trees were purple
Distracted with the sight
Of a golden turtle
We asked the turtle
Why we were there
And he looked into the sky
And made us stare
Two rainbows came
Floating down
And handed us
A great big silver crown
Standing hungry in the shadows
Of the trees that were purple
We needed to eat, needed some meat
So we said goodbye to Mr Turtle
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
Don't know where your next stop is gonna be
A penny in your pocket, not a single pair of socks
Life's more fun when you're running on empty
