Our Lady Of The Underground by Anais Mitchell
Our Lady Of The Underground lyrics
PERSEPHONE
I don�t know about you, boys
But if you�re like me then hanging around
This old manhole is bringing you down
Six-feet-under getting under your skin
Cabin fever is a-setting in
You�re stir crazy! You�re stuck in a rut!
Or you could use a little pick-me-up
I can give you what it is you crave
A little something from the good old days
I got the wind right here in a jar
I got the rain on tap at the bar
I got the sunshine up on the shelf
Allow me to introduce myself
Brother, what�s my name?
My name is...
Our Lady of the Underground!
PERSEPHONE
Brother, what�s my name?
CROWD
Our Lady of Ways!
Our Lady of Means!
PERSEPHONE
Brother, what�s my name?
My name is...
CROWD
Our Lady of the Upside Down
PERSEPHONE
Brother what�s my name?
I�ll tell you my name...
Persephone!
Come here, brother, let me guess
It�s the little things you miss
Spring flowers, autumn leaves
Ask me, brother, and you shall receive
Or maybe these just ain�t enough
Maybe you�re looking for some stronger stuff
I got a sight for the sorest eye
When�s the last time you saw the sky?
Wipe away your tears, brother
Brother, I know how you feel
I can see you�re blinded by the sadness of it all
But look a little closer, everything will be revealed
Look a little closer, there�s a crack in the wall
You want stars? I got a skyful
Put a quarter in the slot, you�ll get an eyeful
You want the moon? I got her too
She�s right here waiting in my pay-per-view
Oh, how long�s it been?
A little moonshine ain�t no sin
One at a time, boys, straight line
What the boss don�t know, the boss won�t mind
