Underworld Usa Lyrics - Cherish The Light Years - Cold Cave

underworld (whispered throughout the intro) 

They said the meek shall inherit the earth 

oh god that seems like so much work 

I want to sing and dream and drink and cry 

and let this night pass me by 

oh take me to the future, I'm ready 

my affection is so unsteady 

I can think up tomorrow 

I can sleep through today 

as the sun melts the ice caps away 

I'll carry your cross now baby 

it's a blasphemous world today 

we are the tender missionaries 

from the underworld, USA 

It is so easy to confess 

when you are guilty of nothing less 

than a crooked, wretched, 

stupid, tepid indifference 

yeah, take me to your bedroom, I'm ready 

my complexion is so unsteady 

I remember tomorrow 

I forget yesterday 

I want to move into your body and stay 

I'll carry your cross now baby 

it's a blasphemous world today 

we are the tender missionaries 

from the underworld, USA 

I'll bury your pain now baby 

are you happier now, happier now? 

In the tender cemetery 

where we always are here to stay 

They said the meek shall inherit the earth 

oh I want to know what it's all worth 

with a knife in my back and a star in my eye 

oh let this life pass me by 

Can you take me to your heaven, I'm ready 

I know the weight of my heart is too heavy 

I will love you with all of the love that I have 

even if that means there's none left for me 

I'll carry your cross now baby 

it's a blasphemous world today 

we are the tender missionaries 

from the underworld, USA 

I'll bury your pain now baby 

are you happier now, happier now? 

in the tender cemetery 

where we always are here to stay
