Lyrics – Going Underground

Recorded as a duet – Part one in normal type; Part two in italics; Both together in bold

A quiet time we’re slowing down
Cruising in and gliding down
Take the chance take a look around
We’re going underground

There’s no map nor pattern here
We’re pushing on to the interior
It’s deeper than any world we know
And we’re going down below

There’s a river running underground
That feeds the souls of the lost and found
Now take a breath we’re going down

I’ll be holding on to you
You’ll be holding on to me
Shut the window lock the door against the storm
And we’re going down down we’re going underground
 

Stop the trains stop the boats and planes
We have to learn to live in a different way
Learn to live learn to love learn to give again
And we’re going down

All our lives we strove to win
Never saw the life we’re living in
Now we are just breathing out breathing out and breathing in
And we’re going down

I’ll be holding on to you
You’ll be holding on to me
Shut the window lock the door against the storm
And we’re going down down we’re going underground  

This is not the home I know
Something’s changed we’re on our own
And I don’t know this world

Take my hand I’m by your side
Together we will make this right
And get through the storm

Feel the rock it’s hard and cold
Trust to love and let the path unfold
Now take the chance ‘cos we’re growing old

I’ll be holding on to you
You’ll be holding on to me
Shut the window lock the door against the storm
And we’re going down down we’re going underground

We’re going down down
Going down
