The Walkabouts - Coming Up For Air Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Suckin' alabaster in a ventilator shaft
  • Chewin' on surrender because it's cheap and it lasts
  • This ain't hell, it's a holding tank
  • Where memory and the future draw a big, fat blank
  • I know this tunnel leads somewhere
  • But it takes mystery and a torch
  • And a reason to care
  • I know this tunnel leads outside
  • Down to the river where the elephants die
  • Comin' up
  • Up, Up, Up, Up
  • Comin' Up for Air
  • There is no better story than a man in a hole
  • This is where he laid still
  • This is how he rolled
  • This is how he fed, on the marrow of his bones
  • This is where he shuffled
  • Playin' doomsday alone
  • A suicide miner
  • With a depth charge timer
  • Rathole lover
  • Diggin' deep for a cover
  • You suffocate first
  • Then you learn how to breathe
  • The sweet of the sewer
  • Shows you the way to leave
  • Make room for the cleanup crew
  • They're the last to the scene
  • And the first to be fooled
  • The townsfolk line thick
  • Along the riverside
  • Lookin' for a place
  • To watch the elephants die
