oh the news will travel slowly
over broken glass
and you've probably heard this story
under the overpass

got no time to weep for something
you'll never get back
are you feeling cold and lonely
under the overpass

hallelujah hallelujah
under the overpass

dingo cry in the middle of the night
snakeskin crawl under desert sunlight
I wish and I hope
someone's there to drink from the soak
in the town where I hit the ground
in the town with the full nelson sound

oh the news will travel slowly
over broken glass
and you've probably heard this story
under the overpass

got no time to weep for something
you'll never get back
are you feeling sad and lonely
under the overpass

hallelujah hallelujah
under the overpass

(Moginie, Hirst)
