Songtexte My Nation Underground - Julian Cope

Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground

Says Nostradamus, "It's coming soon"
Red sun and rainstorms will have us all
So I built Noah′s Ark in my basement
For all the hind-legged people that I love

They gave confession in my fallout shelter
And I′m particular about people in my home
I had to seal the ventilation shaft
Now I'm dancing on my own

Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground

I′m hot, I'm flushed, I′m cold
I've got a headache that's lasted since the weekend
Another party and I got too out of hand
"Help me", I cried, but only in amazement

Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation had been found
That′s the soundest foundation for my nation underground

I didn't save your life
I only raised your life off the floor
You come to me to praise your life
Say can I change your life
And guide your life through the door
Hey

Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation had been found
That's the soundest foundation for my nation underground

Who's rushin′ in now?
Taken in the arms of the lord
While my heart says, "No, no, no, no"
Seein′ is believin', open up the gates of hell

I didn′t save your life
I only raised your life off the floor
You come to me to praise your life
Say can I change your life
And guide your life through the door

Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya 'bout my nation underground, my nation underground
Tell ya ′bout my nation underground, my nation underground
