lyrics

Here comes the underground
The walls are closing in
I can’t see what I’ve found
But I’ll throw it out again
And the way that I feel is not the enemy
When I can’t see what is right in front of me
The walls are closing in

It’s the way of the world
To hide the ways of the girl
And it’s the weight of the world on my head

He wouldn’t hurt a fly
Broken in the head
But what a way to die
Cracked by the egg
It’s a really bad day for democracy
But a freak show train wreck you gotta see
Broken in the head

It’s the way of the world
To hide the ways of the girl
And it’s the weight of the world on my head

This means a lot to me
But I’m selling off the truth
The opportunity
To regain the innocence of youth
In world made of sand and filled with ostriches
Where the penniless live beneath the money trees
I’m selling off the truth

It’s the way of the world
To hide the ways of the girl
And it’s the weight of the world on my head
And I can’t stand up
