Back In the Underworld
Standing in the rain
Waiting for the man to show
The lights are flashing on across the river
I took a ride downtown
Then up to 42nd street
Don't even know the name
Of the place that I'm looking for
In the silence of the night
Down the broken avenue
A doorway yawns
And steps lead down to the underworld
See all of my friends
Looking so strange
Yellow skin
And fingers held up to their eyes
I'm back in the underworld
Can't see a way out of here
I'm back in the underworld
I need a way out of here
I wake up in the morning
And I feel so scared
I bought a one-way ticket
There's no way back from here
Oh, I'm out of control
I need it too much
It hits me deep inside
It's better than a woman's touch
Well, I saw my life
Down the barrel of a gun
Faces I knew
They flashed before my eyes
"Take off those shoes!
Get up those stairs!
Don't even think to run
There's nowhere you can hide..."
I'm back in the underworld
Can't see a way out of here
I'm back in the underworld
I need a way out of here
I had a dream last night
Well, I was back ten years ago
I've seen the light my darlin'
But still won't let me go
I was shaking like a thief
As if my soul had died
I've got this hollow feeling
It haunts me deep inside
I'm back in the underworld
Can't see a way out of here
I'm back in the underworld
I need a way out of here
I need a way out of here
Oh baby, get me out of here
I need a way out of here
Waiting for the man to show
The lights are flashing on across the river
I took a ride downtown
Then up to 42nd street
Don't even know the name
Of the place that I'm looking for
In the silence of the night
Down the broken avenue
A doorway yawns
And steps lead down to the underworld
See all of my friends
Looking so strange
Yellow skin
And fingers held up to their eyes
I'm back in the underworld
Can't see a way out of here
I'm back in the underworld
I need a way out of here
I wake up in the morning
And I feel so scared
I bought a one-way ticket
There's no way back from here
Oh, I'm out of control
I need it too much
It hits me deep inside
It's better than a woman's touch
Well, I saw my life
Down the barrel of a gun
Faces I knew
They flashed before my eyes
"Take off those shoes!
Get up those stairs!
Don't even think to run
There's nowhere you can hide..."
I'm back in the underworld
Can't see a way out of here
I'm back in the underworld
I need a way out of here
I had a dream last night
Well, I was back ten years ago
I've seen the light my darlin'
But still won't let me go
I was shaking like a thief
As if my soul had died
I've got this hollow feeling
It haunts me deep inside
I'm back in the underworld
Can't see a way out of here
I'm back in the underworld
I need a way out of here
I need a way out of here
Oh baby, get me out of here
I need a way out of here
