Up in the Highlands
Up in the highlands
There's a roar in the wind
We all want the work
No one can settle down or settle in
Up in the highlands
The boss marks you with a grin
Up in the highlands
The thunder is all around
You can hear it in the sky, you can feel it in your heart
Feel it in the ground
Up in the highlands
The bad days are all around
Up in the highlands
There's hours but there's no pay
I drink to numb the pain and I'm scanning the terrain
For a better day
Cause up in the highlands your justice gets away
Up in the highlands
We're balanced on a wire
Money from the tourists
Fireworks in the sky like a funeral pyre
Up in the highlands our sadness lift up the spire
Up in the highlands the adders got steel teeth
You can buy the medicine, you can find the doctor
But there's no relief
Cause up in the highlands
You can't blame the beggars or the thieves
Up in the highlands
You sleep in the bed you made
Machines are off to rust, your bones are off to dust
Your debt is never paid
Up in the highlands
A broken melody starts to play
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
There's a roar in the wind
We all want the work
No one can settle down or settle in
Up in the highlands
The boss marks you with a grin
Up in the highlands
The thunder is all around
You can hear it in the sky, you can feel it in your heart
Feel it in the ground
Up in the highlands
The bad days are all around
Up in the highlands
There's hours but there's no pay
I drink to numb the pain and I'm scanning the terrain
For a better day
Cause up in the highlands your justice gets away
Up in the highlands
We're balanced on a wire
Money from the tourists
Fireworks in the sky like a funeral pyre
Up in the highlands our sadness lift up the spire
Up in the highlands the adders got steel teeth
You can buy the medicine, you can find the doctor
But there's no relief
Cause up in the highlands
You can't blame the beggars or the thieves
Up in the highlands
You sleep in the bed you made
Machines are off to rust, your bones are off to dust
Your debt is never paid
Up in the highlands
A broken melody starts to play
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
Up in the highlands
