Ben Folds Five - Underground lyrics

Intro:

"I was never cool in school.

I'm sure you don't remember me.

But now it's been ten years and I'm still wondering who to be.

I love to mix in circles, cliques, and social coteries (that's me)

Hand me my nose ring!

(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 got to be something else

Let me tell you something else

There was a girl that passed me by

She gave a smile but I was shy and looked down

(Don't look down no no! Go go underground)

Now now there's a place to go.

It's the morning now, its the evening

It's everything.

I click my heels and I'm there.

Chorus:

(Underground, Underground)

Everything's heavy underground

You've 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:
