Ben Folds Five - Underground lyrics

rate me

I was never cool in school

I'm sure you don't remember me

and now it's been ten years

I'm still wondering who to be

and I love to mix in circles,

cliques and social coteries,

that's me

hand me my nosering

(can we be happy?)

show me the mosh pit

(can we be happy?)

we can be happy

underground

Who's got the looks?

Who's got the brains?

Who's got everything?

I've got this pain in my heart

that's all

Hey you, with the long

and lonely face

there's gotta be something else

let me tell you something else

there was a girl who passed me by

she gave a smile, but I was shy

and I looked down, so down

Don't look down no no

go go underground

now now there's a place to go

it's the morning now

it's the evening

it's everything

I click my heels and I'm there

CHORUS

Underground, underground, ooh

Everything's heavy underground

you been kicked around

did life bring you down here?

Everything's heavy underground

And we'll be decked

in all black

slamming the pit fantastic

Officer Friendly's little boy's

got a mohawk

and he knows just where

we're coming from

it's industrial

work it underground

get down, get down, get down

CHORUS

we can be happy

we can be happy

we can be happy

underground

oh we can

oh we can

oh we can be

everything's heavy!
