Underberg 歌词

Underberg has fallen down They’ve carted the last brick out to a junkyard town She put her head on my shoulder Sighed a sob that said we’re older And underberg has fallen down Brick by brick and stone by stone they razed And ghosts of teenage love and lust escaped Soon it’ll be but a hole Off a sidewalk way too wide We watched underberg drown And it drowned till it died On the day of the demolition I showed up at her place half past nine With cardboard cups full of coffee in tears And the foreman began to eulogize A building is never so lonely As when it hits the ground And underberg has fallen down In high school we would steal inside at night And make out by the glow of a traffic light When we tired of touching she would Turn to me and say You know they’ll tear down this building Some bitter, some bitter black day I want to watch them tear down that building with you Then watch them watch you tear me down too The first time I saw her was nineteen ninety-three Some punk rock shirt and acid-washed jeans Standing front of a building With a sign of hand-painted words Kitchen supplies by Samuel Underberg And underberg has fallen down
