lyrics

UNDERGROUND FAME

V1.
Who could want a reason, to deceive you?
Even if you aren’t all that is pure.
Motions in the ground say
How can we live this way?
Find a way to love her, when you’ve gone.

V2.
Notions of some desperate days ahead.
Still the world would love to, have you bled.
Dancing with Ophelia,
don’t let her swimming fool you.
She is in the moonlight,
everything is alright.

Chorus
Underground fame,
There is nothing to claim.
Underground fame,
There is nothing to blame.

Instrumental

V3.
Everyone’s on their own island shore,
shooting tides that drift in, their back door.
How I want to love you,
out of touch in their view.
You can’t lose what you have never found.

V4.
I don’t understand why, you can’t stay in here.
Where we’ll know our thoughts won’t let us down.
Closer to the ground here, under all the sound here.
Far away, the sun sets,
On your pain.

Chorus
Underground fame,
There is nothing to claim.
Underground fame,
There is nothing to blame.
