I ain't looking to put you down I have no reason to try it's just the strange way that the world is turning 'round as if I need a reason why five years in the underground shaping sound it's just a question of ten or two it's just a matter of time more and more with life it comes through knowing you it's just another trip of mine five years in the underground counting down five years in the underground longer now my soul is lifted above ground I think I'm learning to fly so why's it feel as if you try to hold me down when all my life that's kept me trying five years in the underground shaping sound five years in the underground counting down I know what this means to you but am I part of your dream 'cause wheels are turning and I've got to see it through though I ain't expecting nothing five years in the underground shaping sound five years in the underground counting down five years in the underground longer now over now?
