Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The answer's always no, two questions of a private nature

The lights are always low, in settings of a conversation

The ankle trips a wire, while phasing into oscillation

We'll take it where we go and leave behind our reservations

It goes down

[Verse 2]

It's never the same and the nights always glow

There's nothin' to see and nowhere to go

It's easy to say you're happier when you're disturbed

The grey light's in your head, getting down the germs

[Verse 3]

I'm lazy and tame, and the chimes always blow

A glimmerin' sound on the breeze when you go

It's never a shame and I've learned to live with the worms

Underground, getting down the germs

[Verse 4]

She's happy when it grows to heights above a normal nature

The stereo shows a life beyond a resignation

The hammer breaks the tools, a sliver of a conversation

It's just above a hum, we'll talk about it at the station

It goes down

[Verse 5]

It's never the same and the nights always glow

There's nothin' to see and nowhere to go

It's easy to say you're happier when you're disturbed

The grey light's in your head, getting down the germs

[Verse 6]

I'm lazy and tame, and the chimes always blow

A glimmerin' sound on the breeze when you go

It's never a shame and I've learned to live with the worms

Underground, getting down, getting down the germs

[Verse 7]

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down, getting down, getting down, getting down the germs

[Verse 8]

It's never the same and the nights always glow

There's nothin' to see and nowhere to go

It's easy to say you're happier when you're disturbed

The grey light's in your head, getting down the germs

[Verse 9]

I'm lazy and tame, and the chimes always blow

A glimmerin' sound on the breeze when you go

It's never a shame 'cause they love to watch when you squirm

All around, gettin' down

Getting down the germs
