They put on uniforms of blood thirsty thieves And marched through the gardens of Adam and Eve Stealing fruit from the earth's only trees Forcing names onto contracts hanging off their sleeves The bluebird sings to the alley cat The food for the dog's eaten by the street rat King walks by, peasants tip their hats Tell me, can you fathom that? Underneath the ground I'll wait Underneath the ground always Underneath the ground I'll be Underneath the ground Isn't she lovely? Watch her drown Isn't she lovely? Hold her down Underneath the ground I'll wait Underneath the ground always Underneath the ground I'll be Underneath the ground

I feel at home when my center is loose Left open to every path I choose I dreams dreams. How high is the moon? Because there is no truth And I smile when I'm singing the blues It makes sense until I'm confused Still I argue until I am blue or No longer amused Oh, don't get so tense, you're everything to me When we're losing sense, means everything Because I'm a hopeless case of a girl, so throw me to the wind

Amour Fou 02:43
A rhythm of the street Idle hands and itchy feet Frigid cold or waves of heat I fall into the clouds A rhythm of the street A concrete set of beats Inbetween a pair of strange eyes meet and we stumble to the ground Keep on movin' down Only fools watch where theyre goin' When I start to feel that rhythm I fall into the clouds

Messin' around Why do I even try with you? Who do you love? I know it can't be me you're thinkin' of Messin' around Why don't you just leave me be Messin' around, boy Why are you makin' a fool out of me? I ain't your rag-doll, baby I'm not your puppet, boy. If you want something to play with go and find yourself a toy. Messin' around Who do you think you are? And who do you love? I know it can't be me But you keep me on my toes You know just how the story goes Round and round and round Just like your eyes with every cute little thing that walks by

Well, she wasn't very smart but she knew how to love And she knew how to make beautiful sounds And people make sounds when they need to be heard And, oh, she had to be She wasn't very good at staying in one place, but she knew how to run so far away No sense of place No sense of time And no sense at all And she lived like the wind blowing through And she loved like a soft breeze She wasn't very good at staying in one place But she knew how to run so far away And she lived like the wind blowing through And she loved like a soft breeze
