Anaïs Mitchell - Our Lady of the Underground lyrics

PERSEPHONE I don't know about you, boys But if you're like me then hanging around This old manhole is bringing you down Six-feet-under getting under your skin Cabin fever is a-setting in You're stir crazy! Stuck in a rut! You could use a little pick-me-up I can give you what it is you crave A little something from the good old days, hey I got the wind right here in a jar I got the rain on tap at the bar I got the sunshine up on the shelf Allow me to introduce myself Brother, what's my name? My name is CROWD Our Lady of the Underground! PERSEPHONE Brother, what's my name? CROWD Our Lady of Ways! Our Lady of Means! PERSEPHONE Brother, what's my name? My name is CROWD Our Lady of the Upside Down PERSEPHONE Brother what's my name? I'll tell you my name: Persephone! Come here, brother, let me guess It's the little things you miss Spring flowers, autumn leaves Ask me, brother, and you shall receive Or maybe these just ain't enough Maybe you're looking for some stronger stuff I got a sight for the sorest eye When's the last time you saw the sky? Wipe away your tears, brother, brother, I know how you feel I can see you're blinded by the sadness of it all Look a little closer and everything will be revealed Look a little closer, there's a crack in the wall You want stars? I got a skyful Put a quarter in the slot, you'll get an eyeful You want the moon? I got her too She's right here waiting in my pay-per-view Ooh, how long's it been? A little moonshine ain't no sin One at a time, boys, straight line What the boss don't know, the boss won't mind
