Amber Gray - Our Lady of the Underground

Step into my office

I don't know about you, boys
But if you're like me then hanging around
This old manhole is bringing you down
Six-feet-under getting under your skin
Cabin fever is a-setting in
You're stir crazy, stuck in a rut
You could use a little pick-me-up
I can give you what it is you crave
A little something from the good old days

I got the wind right here in a jar
I got the rain on tap at the bar
I got sunshine up on the shelf
Allow me to introduce myself

Brother, what's my name?
My name is
Our Lady of the Underground!
Brother, what's my name?
Our Lady of Ways!
Our Lady of Means!
Brother, what's my name?
My name is
Our Lady of the Upside Down
Wanna know my name?
I'll tell you my name
Persephone

Come here, brother, let me guess
It's the little things you miss
Spring flowers, autumn leaves
Ask me, brother, and you shall receive
Or maybe these just ain't enough
Maybe you're looking for some stronger stuff
I got a sight for the sorest eye
When was the last time you saw the sky?

Wipe away your tears, brother
Brother, I know how you feel
I can see you're blinded by the sadness of it all
But look a little closer and everything will be revealed
Look a little closer and there's a crack in the wall

Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Drye on the trombone
Marika Hughes on the cello
Dana Lyn on the violin
Ben Perowski on the drums
Robinson Morse on the bass
Michael Chorney on the guitar
And Liam Robinson on the keys

You want stars? I got a sky full
Put a quarter in the slot, you'll get an eyeful
You want the moon? Yeah, I got her too
She's right here waiting in my pay-per-view

How long's it been?
A little moonshine ain't no sin
Tell my husband to take his time
What the boss don't know, the boss won't mind
