Underneath the Ground
7am, Darius, cup of coffee in his hand
Work order in the pocket of his orange vest
Hard hat and goggles, shock-proof boots
He's got a secret you wouldn't guess
See Darius doesn't work for the MTA and he never has
But he's been faking it since he was sixteen
139 keys to the city on his belt
He makes his home in the in-between
The only place he feels at home
Is underneath the ground
It all gets so clear
When he feels that rumbling sound
Darius riding trains
Every train, every track, every switch, he knows them all by name
His friends call him Transportation Captain
When they ask him why he does it, he says Oh it's just a game
You know I like to be there when stuff happens
The only place he feels at home
Is underneath the ground
It all gets so clear
When he feels that rumbling sound
Darius riding
Darius riding
Darius riding trains
They told him to stop or he'd do time
Now the Transportation Captain is stuck inside a cell
5 years of restitution for his crimes
At night he dreams about the rails
The only place he feels at home
Is underneath the ground
It all gets so clear
When he feels that rumbling sound
Darius riding
Darius riding
Darius riding trains
Darius riding
Darius riding
Darius riding trains
Darius riding trains
Work order in the pocket of his orange vest
Hard hat and goggles, shock-proof boots
He's got a secret you wouldn't guess
See Darius doesn't work for the MTA and he never has
But he's been faking it since he was sixteen
139 keys to the city on his belt
He makes his home in the in-between
The only place he feels at home
Is underneath the ground
It all gets so clear
When he feels that rumbling sound
Darius riding trains
Every train, every track, every switch, he knows them all by name
His friends call him Transportation Captain
When they ask him why he does it, he says Oh it's just a game
You know I like to be there when stuff happens
The only place he feels at home
Is underneath the ground
It all gets so clear
When he feels that rumbling sound
Darius riding
Darius riding
Darius riding trains
They told him to stop or he'd do time
Now the Transportation Captain is stuck inside a cell
5 years of restitution for his crimes
At night he dreams about the rails
The only place he feels at home
Is underneath the ground
It all gets so clear
When he feels that rumbling sound
Darius riding
Darius riding
Darius riding trains
Darius riding
Darius riding
Darius riding trains
Darius riding trains
