Memorize the Dictionary - Underground

Leaves in the day are going round
Round and round as the night life goes down
And so, my dears
You won't be hearing much from me I fear

String up the lights, open up to the dead
Don't let the moon rear its ugly head
Manufacture automated fun
An artificial sun

Leave the window unlocked
There's nothing beyond the walls
Turning to your victim
You explain that

The times that we live in
Are going underground
Forgive me if I didn't hear
I don't really get around

Everyone's still grasping straws
Losing what they need and
Finding what they want to do

I get the point but tell me just what
What does this mean to you

Give me a map of the whole world
And I'm sure to tell you where
Where you'll be and where I'll be
And how I don't care

A mirror that reflects half your face
And a little bit of me too
A faded image with a clear view
Of the room around you

The times that we live in
Are going underground
Forgive me if I didn't hear
I don't really get around

Slugging through the hours on a Saturday night
Waiting for the thoughts to pass on by
Wasting away on a sunny day
Dreading the chance'll move away

A self-fulfilling prophet preaching lies all around
Gazing with wistful eyes
Wishing away on a rainy day
Feeling the change move away

I'd expect you to know all there is to know
The things you need to say and the places you'll go
I'm certainly lost, that's for sure, it's all I'll ever know
It should be obvious but I have to ask if it shows

Help yourself, take a few
Tell a story, maybe two
Take a whiff and pass it around
Bury the rest down in the ground
Ask me how, I'll tell you where
How and where you'll get somewhere
Tell me when, put a gun to my head
Kick a bit, make sure I'm not dead

The cream of the crop won't rise to the top
If we just keep planting our garbage
Compost fun and do your hair
Don't let your thoughts go anywhere
Run around, live and die
Kill some time and fill some space
Make up, wake up, distill your brain
Trap the sky, don't let it rain

The times that we live in
Are going underground
Forgive me if I didn't hear
I don't really get around

The times that we live in
Are going underground
Forgive me if I didn't hear
I don't really get around

I just go underground
I just go underground
I just go underground
