Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No one can blame you
For walking away
But too much rejection
No love injection
Life can't be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell
[Refrain]
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Underground
Down in the underground
A land serene, a crystal moon, ah-ha
[PreChorus]
It's only forever
Not long at all
The lost and the lonely
That's underground
Underground
[Chorus]
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Heard about a place today
I, I'm underground
Where nothing ever hurts again
Heard about a place today
Daddy, get me out of here
Where nothing ever hurts again
Wanna go underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Wanna go underground
I, I'm underground
Get me underground
Sister, sister, please take me down
Daddy, get me out of here
I, I'm underground
Wanna go underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
[Verse 2]
No one can blame you
For walking away
But too much rejection
No love injection
[Refrain]
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Underground
Down in the underground
A land serene, a crystal moon, ah-ha
[PreChorus]
It's only, it's only forever
It's not long at all
The lost and the lonely
That's underground
Underground
[Chorus]
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Heard about a place today
Heard about a place today
Nothing ever hurts again
Where nothing ever hurts again
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Daddy, get me out of here
I'm, I'm underground
Wanna go underground
Sister, sister, please take me down
Wanna go underground
I'm, I'm underground
Get me underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out
[Bridge]
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
[Chorus]
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
I'm, I'm underground
I'm buried underground
Sister, sister, please take me down
I'm buried underground
I, I'm underground
I'm buried underground
I, I'm underground
I'm buried underground
I, I'm underground
I'm buried underground
[Outro]
Daddy, daddy, please
Heard about a place today
Where nothing ever hurts again
Daddy, daddy, please
Heard about a place today
Where nothing ever hurts again
Heard about a place today
Wanna live underground
Where nothing ever hurts again
Wanna live underground
Heard about a place today
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Where nothing ever hurts again
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Heard about a place today
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Sister, sister, take me down
Where nothing ever hurts again
Wanna live underground
Sister, sister, take me down
Heard about a place today
Wanna live underground
