Underground

Deep down in the Underground

Time’s running out

The sundial’s burning down

There’s the black hound, name's on you

Knows who you are

And knows what to do

I'm underground, I'm underground

Need a surprise

Not a breath, nor word or sound

Decision time’s coming

And I know it's true, when

You're so far gone you just carry on through

There's no check-out, it's fight or flight

Don’t give up without a fight

Can’t give in, I can't decide what's right

In my head the nagging sound

Won’t say anything profound

Take a dive, go deeper underground

Deep down in the Underground

And you're so far in

That the only way up is down

I've seen you running, there’s your cue

You know not to stop

If you wanna get through

So help me, I know it's true

I know what you are, know what you do

Don’t know why I have this thing for you

Underground’s deserted too

Mentally, I know I'm screwed

And all my thinking’s what to do ‘bout you

Circle round for eternity

Need some energy, clarity

Run or hide, Fight or flight

Don’t give up without a fight

Can’t give in, I can't decide what's right

In my head the nagging sound

Won’t say anything profound

Take a dive, go deeper underground

Underground’s deserted too

Mentally, I know I'm screwed

And all my thinking’s what to do ‘bout you

So help me, I know it's true

I know what you are, know what you do

Don’t know why I have this thing for you
