Chthonian

Lyrics

As I climbed on the metro stair I met a cove who wasn't there A grinning half-reptilian Crustacean with a lizard brain And he said monsters from deep space Were the masters of that place And underground they lurked unseen And only lived to tap their screens He said: "Get out while you still can!" And in fact that was my plan I tried to scream but couldn't make a sound Now I'm living underground Forever, I'm here forever Unless I wake and it's all been A chthonian dream And so I laughed and turned away And kept on stumbling through my day I knew I was a citizen And nothing bad can ever happen to them But then I walked slap bang into three big gooks Pointing guns from boiler suits They said: "You are an alien!" I'm not a contrarian So I said nothing and they fired In slow motion I expired I tried to scream but couldn't make a sound Now I'm living underground Forever, I'm here forever Unless I wake and it's all been A chthonian dream And now I labour with a screen On ancillary revenue streams My bitcoin's gone, and I'll admit I'm a commercial idiot I have no limbs, I feel no pain Move the cursor with my brain But Squarespace tells me I'll make a load If I give you a discount code So feel me grabbing at your hand Dragging you to zombieland You try to scream but can't make a sound Now we're here underground Forever, we're here forever Until we wake and it's all been A chthonian dream
