Tunnelvision
The spines of moonlight tremulous
From footsteps
How we've tried to climb the shrieking pipes
From the depths
Born below
Ever bowed
Minds transfixed above us
Til it's all we can see every time our eyes meet
(Just trying get out
Are we just trying to get out)
Stretching up
Not a rat I'm a shoot
My future is up there
Stretching up
With a nail, with a tooth
Feeling a universe of yearning
A raised bouquet of fingertips
To the ceiling
Is that the one that leaves you kicking
And screaming
O, that night!
Of disquiet
Could be enough to believe in
Because it's all I can see every time our eyes meet
(Just trying get out
Are we just trying to get out)
Stretching up
Not a rat I'm a shoot
My future is up there
Stretching up
With a nail, with a tooth
Feeling a universe of yearning
The torrent as it swells
Behind those crooked teeth
In the wee small hours
I might just have
The queen of the mud to myself
The most beautiful rat in all of the sewer
As the two bright pins in the pools of your eyes dissolve
(Just trying get out
Are we just trying to get out)
Stretching up
Not a rat I'm a shoot
My future is up there
Stretching up
With a nail, with a tooth
Feeling a universe of yearning
Clawing up
I'm crawling out
From footsteps
How we've tried to climb the shrieking pipes
From the depths
Born below
Ever bowed
Minds transfixed above us
Til it's all we can see every time our eyes meet
(Just trying get out
Are we just trying to get out)
Stretching up
Not a rat I'm a shoot
My future is up there
Stretching up
With a nail, with a tooth
Feeling a universe of yearning
A raised bouquet of fingertips
To the ceiling
Is that the one that leaves you kicking
And screaming
O, that night!
Of disquiet
Could be enough to believe in
Because it's all I can see every time our eyes meet
(Just trying get out
Are we just trying to get out)
Stretching up
Not a rat I'm a shoot
My future is up there
Stretching up
With a nail, with a tooth
Feeling a universe of yearning
The torrent as it swells
Behind those crooked teeth
In the wee small hours
I might just have
The queen of the mud to myself
The most beautiful rat in all of the sewer
As the two bright pins in the pools of your eyes dissolve
(Just trying get out
Are we just trying to get out)
Stretching up
Not a rat I'm a shoot
My future is up there
Stretching up
With a nail, with a tooth
Feeling a universe of yearning
Clawing up
I'm crawling out
