Absent Minded

This is the Underground

Hello
are you there
goodnight
save your prayers
save your doubts and tears
in little tiny bottles
save your toe nails
and angel wings
for the divine
stay with me and learn a little
we are the underground

pierce your nose
shave your head
green eyeshadow for the abused
another style to amuse
and confuse
another fake plastic Barbie doll to throw away
ken is a saint
with a blackened rainbow muttering his dismay

we are the underground
here on this channel
where god stays away with me
we are the underground
speaking out about paranoia's
transvestites
prodigies and sexually transmitted diseases

the sky is falling
the stars are not falling my friend
they are swinging
winging
pretending everything is fine
they are slimy grimy shiny maggots
stuck in your head

we are the underground
we are the underground

get a grip
everybody's eating apples
heres a hint everybody's an example
skip a rock in the flow of the brave
and remember tomorrow comes
when you start the change

green eyeshadow and the exit remains
cover up your faults
your denials
your inner child
your secret smiles
with green eyeshadow

the rest will follow

we are the underground
free me
see me taste me
heal me
free me
I'm in danger now
tag me under
follow the thunder
the storm washes the tears in my skin feeling clean
he doesn't know what I'm saying
when i put the other shades on
green is my escape route
put it on parade

dirty father simple follower
healthy leader fearless healer
bloody teacher
i cry for you
I wont say anything but close my eyes
cant you see me I'm wearing the shades of green
HE BEATS ME
HE BEATS ME

this is the underground
take me there now

rearrange me
change me take me amaze me
keep me simple and easy something i cannot see
i will always bee so easy
this is the underground

lips of blue
I'm not the only fool
what does he tell you?
another form of love
another tearing hole gaping us apart
tell me now tell me how
can i fix it up
lips of blue
Irm addicted to drugs
i cannot run anymore
this is the underground
id kiss you
remove this poison from my lips
this is my silent stand
this is my resting place
this is my grave
this is my silent protest
more obscene than all the rest

cant you help me
wont you see me
wont you heal me
wont you keep me
safe
let me shine this way
watch me slide away
lips of blue eyes of green
this is the underground

we are the underground

don't tell me what to do

ill just follow and follow and follow
never brave enough to make a statement soo bold
ill never do anything he'll never know to tell you what I'm going through
I'll never reach out to you

all in black
we are the underground
we are the underground
innocent and confused
drop dead and amused
never wear white i might get dirty and stained
maybe thats the next big thing
maybe thats what we need to see
maybe that s the safest dream
maybe with eyes of blue He beats me
i need an escape
Lips of blue
I'm an addict reaching out to you
look at my stained white clothes
paint splashes and bleach wearing through

I'll never be like you

this is the underground
this is the underground
