lyrics

UNDERGROUND

mother, can you hear me singing?
i got a soul full of song and i'm clinging
to the next one coming
i'll bring you a little piece of the puzzle
i'm building

mother, can you hear me screaming?
i saw her face in the middle of a bad dream
it wasn't much to remember
no meaning attached to the shadow on the ceiling

take it in now
breathe it in, breathe it out
it ain't no monkey on your back
it ain't no albatross
to beat into the ground
keep the fires burning
on this merry-go-round
and round and round
underground

mother, can you hear me saying
we gotta move it all along this plane, yeah
i feel a shake in my bones, a fever comin' on
every time i think about the back yard

mother, can you see me wasting
another moment of my day spent chasing
these little flies in my head
keep me spinning dizzy
gettin' busy til i hit the ground hard

take it in now
breathe it in, breathe it out
it ain't no monkey on your back
it ain't no albatross
to beat into the ground
keep the fires burning
on this merry-go-round
and round and round
underground

mother, can hear me crying?
i think about it all the time
i wanna fly to the end of the world
just to see the way it all plays out...

mother, can you see me shaking?
i got a boogie in my bones and i'm aching
in my heart, i got love
i'm all about that
i gotta ramp it up

take it in now
breathe it in, breathe it out
it ain't no monkey on your back
it ain't no albatross
to beat into the ground
keep the fires burning
on this merry-go-round
and round and round
underground
