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
