lyrics

UNDERGROUND

I flew into Chicago on a Hellcat 33
We saw no light the entire ride
Down the escalator to Cafe Mystery
That's where I met her, my new sweet city guide

The IT crashed that day and was now running late
Figured we'd be grounded there for a while
With the sweetest smile she whisper, "don't worry, mate"
Two tenths later we're screaming away in style, singing.

Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down
Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down

I unpack my bags in my new spacious digs
Refreshing sweetness in the air
She says to me it's a 3-tiered purifier
The best in homeopathic care

Hard to believe most people live like this now
A population underground
It's 81 Celsius today, December 5th
So good to be down here safe and sound

Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down
Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down
