URBAN UNDERGROUND
Are you looking up at me
Just let your minds eye run free
Every time you join me down here
is the air above so clean and clear
Do you walk to work when you leave me behind
Toiling all day to the urban grind
I'm safe down here without a care
Can the same be said for the millions up there
Every time you travel on this underground
Imagine you are on life's merry go round
Round and round all day you rush
Then back down here to a vocal hush
Now look around at the people close by
and say hello to all urban life,don't be shy

all the vehicles
URBAN UNDERGROUND
Are you looking up at me
Just let your minds eye run free
Every time you join me down here
is the air above
