Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rattle big black bones in the danger zone
There's a rumblin' groan down below
There's a big dark town, it's a place I've found
There's a world going on underground
[Verse 2]
They're alive, they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mineshaft roads, it will all unfold
There's a world going on underground
[Instrumental]
All the roots hang down, swing from town to town
They are marching around down under your boots
All the trucks unload beyond the gopher holes
There's a world going on underground
Written by: Tom Waits
