4:30 A.M. (Apparently They Were Travelling Abroad) Lyrics by Roger Waters

The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking

1984

[Intro]
*Clock ticking*
“Apparently they were traveling abroad, and they picked up some hitchhikers, drill!”
*Drilling sound*
“Don't go!”
[Woman:] Wake up, you're dreaming
[Man:] What?
[Woman:] You're dreaming
[Man:] We were moving away from the border
[Woman:] Hm? Wha… what border?
[Man:] Have a nice day
[Woman:] Hm?
[Man:] Have a nice day
[Verse 1]
We were moving away from the border
Looking for somewhere to sleep
The two of us sharing the driving
Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat
”Hello!” *laughs*
[Verse 2]
I sneaked a quick look in the mirror. *Laughs*
She gave me a smile
I said, “Is anyone hungry?
Should we stop for a while?”
[Verse 3]
So we pulled off into a lay-by
Her dress blew up over her head
I said: “Would you like to come with me?”
She said something foreign under her breath
[Verse 4]
And the sun shown down on her lovely young limbs
I thought to myself, “She's much to too good for him”
I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes
She said…
