into the shadows

from out of the light,

into the darkness

and into the night,

we're off the tracks

we're off the lines

you and me seen better times

now we're on the borderline

and I wish I wasn't here

people say--it could never happen here

but this is a strange frontier



had some good times

had some fun

soon our problems

could be none

we're on the skids

we're off the lines

we're out of luck

we're out of time

now we're on the borderline

we've nearly gone and done it this time

people say it could never happen here

but this is a strange frontier



freedom fighters come and go

bloody--righteous

and mentally slow

we're out of work

we're out of time

we're out of luck

we're out of line

now we're on the borderline

we've really gone and done it this time

people say it could never happen here

but this is a strange frontier



take your children while you can

but there's nowhere you can run

no more tears and no more fun

someday soon they'll drop the big one

no more dad and no more mum



this is a strange frontier
