about

Underground, under night, underlight.

lyrics

Under the underlight of the night
and under the ground and out of the moonlight.
You know, the subway writing reads as it lives
and I'm going home alone, once again.
Anyone I might have called has already gone to bed.
Anyone I might call 'you' is already with someone else –
is already with someone I call, else.

I know you steal my blankets.
I know you kick me in my sleep
but it's so goddamn cold in here
and I don't want to pay for my heat.

When I was a mermaid, I could be shallow or deep.
I could be the same temperature in my fins and my feet.
I never had to worry about where I might sleep
because the space is all just shared down there in the deep.
The mermen that you meet, they're really something sweet:
they always know just what you need
and they're always so damn proud to please –
it's really nice.
I could use one tonight.

I know you steal my blankets.
I know you kick me in my sleep
but it's so goddamn cold in here
and I don't want to pay for my heat.

Where are you deep sea D'Angelo?
Where are you my young-man-underwater-Marlon-Brando?
I could use you tonight.

I know you steal my blankets.
I know you kick me in my sleep
but it's so goddamn cold in here
and I don't want to pay for my heat.
