Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Rattle big black bones in the danger zone

There's a rumblin' groan down below

There's a big dark town, it's a place I've found

There's a world going on underground

[Verse 2]

They're alive, they're awake

While the rest of the world is asleep

Below the mineshaft roads, it will all unfold

There's a world going on underground

[Instrumental]

All the roots hang down, swing from town to town

They are marching around down under your boots

All the trucks unload beyond the gopher holes

There's a world going on underground
