A Shadow Underneath Lyrics - Singing Bones - Handsome Family

Lisa heard a whisper in her computer screen 

And in the sad laser flicker of the xerox machine 

Out the tinted windows, a car sped silently 

And everything was quiet, everything was clean 

But she felt something waiting 

A shadow underneath 

Oh, a shadow underneath 

Another cup of coffee, snacks from the machine 

She stared down the hallway at the plastic trees 

Waving under air ducts in the automated breeze 

A whisper, a flicker, trembling in the leaves 

And she wanted to see it 

But she didn't want to see 

Oh, she didn't want to see 

Down the elevator, falling silently 

In the parking lot, silver puddles gleam 

A canyon of buildings, lazy pipes of steam 

And all of it whispered, all of it breathed 

And all the little shadows 

Danced around her feet 

Oh, they danced around her feet 

And she wanted to see them 

But she didn't want to see 

Oh, she didn't want to see
