Sound Of The Underground

Beats da pumping on my stereo
Neighbours banging on the bathroom wall
IÂ’m saying crank the base I got 2 get some more
Water is running in the wrong direction
Got a feeling itÂ’s a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflections
Something funny is going on inside my mind
I donÂ’t know what but its pushing me higher
ItÂ’s the static in the floor below
And then it drops and catch like fire
ItÂ’s the sound that
ItÂ’s the sound that
ItÂ’s the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the over flow
When the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
When the base light jumps to the back street night
The beat goes round and round
ItÂ’s the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
Chain reaction running through my veins
Pumps the base right on up till my brain
Scroll my minds until I lose control
And when IÂ’m building blocks itÂ’s got my soul
Water is running in the wrong direction
Got a feeling itÂ’s a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflections
Something funny is going on inside my mind
I donÂ’t know what but its pushing me higher
ItÂ’s the static in the floor below
And then it drops and catch like fire
ItÂ’s the sound that
ItÂ’s the sound that
ItÂ’s the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the over flow
When the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
When the base light jumps to the back street night
The beat goes round and round
ItÂ’s the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
I donÂ’t know what but its pushing me higher
ItÂ’s the static in the floor below
And then it drops and catch like fire
ItÂ’s the sound that
ItÂ’s the sound that
ItÂ’s the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the over flow
When the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
When the base light jumps to the back street night
The beat goes round and round
ItÂ’s the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
