The children say run away

On the streets no one plays

Going down to the bargain basement

See what you find if you have the patience

Down so low your nerves were raw

You find them all beneath the floor

Pass it by friends to meet

You find them all beneath the street



Too many secrets

Reasons to defeat us

Precious little reasons

To while away the days



Behind you, beneath you

Above you, all around you

It could have been you



Too many secrets

Reasons to defeat us

Precious little reasons

To while away the years



Behind you, beneath you

Above you, all around you, all around you



It's so complicated

Your problems were related

Crawling long and lowly

It's dawning on us slowly



Too many secrets

Reasons to defeat us

Precious little reasons

To while away the days



Behind you, beneath you

Above you, all around you, all around you



What happened in there did you lose your mind?

When they knocked at the door did you make it in time?

Did you talk to god to see a sign?

Was the devil next door was your soul on the line

Did it just appear did you ever chase it

Did you really fall down can you ever face it

Do you always remember what you do

'Cause it could have been you

It could have been you
