Underground
David Bowie · Other Songs - David Bowie
For walking away.
Too much rejection.
No love injection.
Life can't be easy.
It's not always swell.
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl,
'Cause it hurts like hell,
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true.
Down in the underground;
A land serene;
A crystal moon.
Ah..
It's only forever.
Not long at all.
Lost and lonely.
That's underground.
Underground.
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here.
Heard about a place today.
I, I'm underground.
Nothing ever hurts again.
Heard about a place today.
Daddy, get me out of here
Where nothing ever hurts again.
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
I, I'm underground.
Sister, sister, please take me down.
I, I'm underground.
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here.
No one can blame you
For walking away.
Too much rejection.
No love injection.
Down in the underground
You'll find someone true.
Down in the underground;
A land serene;
A crystal moon.
Ah..
It's only..
It's only forever.
It's not long at all.
Lost and lonely.
That's underground.
Underground.
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here.
Heard about a place today.
Nothing never hurts again.
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here.
I'm, I'm underground.
Sister, sister, please take me down.
I'm, I'm underground.
Daddy, daddy, get me out.
Wanna live underground.
Wanna live underground.
Wanna live underground.
Wanna live underground.
Wanna live underground.
Wanna live underground.
Wanna live underground.
Wanna live underground.
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here.
I'm, I'm underground.
Sister, sister please take me down.
I, I'm underground.
I, I'm underground.
I, I'm underground.
Daddy, daddy, get me..
Daddy, daddy, get me..
Wanna live underground..
Sister, sister, take me down.
About Underground
David Bowie's "Underground" stands as a pivotal track from his 1971 album *The Man Who Fell to Earth*, marking a significant shift toward a more experimental and sci-fi influenced sound. Recorded during a period where Bowie was exploring themes of alienation and isolation, the song features a distinctive, driving rhythm and a vocal delivery that blends rock energy with theatrical flair. It serves as a crucial bridge in his discography, transitioning from the glam rock of his earlier years to the more mature, concept-driven works that would define his later career. The recording showcases his ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that evoke a sense of otherworldly mystery, making it a standout piece within the album's narrative. Its enduring appeal lies in its unique fusion of genres and Bowie's innovative approach to songwriting and performance during this era.
