Out of here, feel the numbness
Never take too many bites for the gut
The wrong drugs at the right time
Cast shadows where the light never shines, for a short while
And take over streets at night
Always water up to our necks, better wear a rain parka
Speechless, dancing instead of talking
So tired of the city that never sleeps
Do you hear the choir? Off-key yet beautiful
Highs slightly off, we're used to lows
With big eyes between train tracks and allotment gardens
Arm in arm singing about lives we'll never live
Just the way this thing runs
Small-time crook confession with two fingers crossed
We are legends, ourselves
Together before the end of the world
Where every day is made of waiting
And time seemingly never passes
In this hinterland. Damn hinterland
Where thoughts blow away in the wind
And time seemingly never passes
Beloved hinterland. Welcome to the hinterland
Always throwing stones, main thing's loud
Up for anything, useful for hardly anything
In these backworlds driven by child benefit
Where actions say more than words, they're silence itself
They make it clear to us
The empty glasses on the bar are the best magnifiers on life
Under the streetlamp at eleven
Together at the end of the world
Where every day is made of waiting
And time seemingly never passes
In this hinterland. Damn hinterland
Where thoughts blow away in the wind
And time seemingly never passes
Beloved hinterland. Welcome to the hinterland
Where every day is made of waiting
And time seemingly never passes
In this hinterland. Damn hinterland
Where thoughts blow away in the wind
And time seemingly never passes
Beloved hinterland. Welcome to the hinterland
