[Verse 1]
Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking, feeling

[Verse 2]
Spin me 'round again
And rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets amass with
People who would stop to hold
Their heads heavy

[Chorus 1]
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first

[Verse 3]
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before
The takeover
The sweeping insensitivity of this
Still life
[Chorus 2]
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
(Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears
They were here first

[Bridge]
Mmm, whatcha say?
Oh, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say?
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmm, whatcha say?
Mmm, that it's just what we need
And you decided this?
Mmm, whatcha say?
Mmm, what did you say?

[Refrain]
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk; newspaper word cut-outs
Speak, no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
[Refrain]
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
(Hide and seek)
Mid-sweet talk; newspaper word cut-outs
Speak, no feeling, no, I don't believe you
(Hide and seek)
You don't care a bit, you don't, don't, don't care a bit
