Underlands Lyrics – Andrew Bird
Oh I can’t get over this moon
And all creatures under the sun
Moving through their days in a state of oblivion
Stars don’t owe you anything
Don’t give a damn about your nations
Feel the slightest obligation
I mean listen
What if the world was spinning off it axis?
And what if the moon begins to wane before it waxes?
Wrapped in darkness
Take my hand
Through all the chambers of the underland
Like a penny on the railroad track
If you go too far you know you can’t go back
Oh I’ve never been here before
Deep inside earth’s molten core
No need for clothes or for eyes to see
So find yourself a pair of ears
Gonna be down here for many years
Just listen out for that subterraneans river of tears
Not exactly heaven
More like a nocturnal paradise
Not exactly hell either
I’d say just bout half as nice
Stars don’t owe you anything
Don’t give a damn about your nations
Feel the slightest obligation
Oh I can’t get over this moon
