The Handsome Family - Shadow Underneath lyrics

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
