No one can blame you
But down in the underground
It's only forever
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
No one can blame you
But down in the underground
It's only
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Music and Lyrics By David Bowie
From the Labyrinth Movie Soundtrack, 1986
For walking away
Too much rejection
No love injection
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell
You'll find someone true (down underground)
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground
Underground
(heard about a place today)
I, I'm underground
(nothing never hurts again)
Heard about a place today
(daddy, get me out of here)
Where nothing never hurts again
(wanna go underground)
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
(wanna go underground)
I, I'm underground
(get me underground)
Sister, sister, please take me down
(daddy, get me out of here)
I, I'm underground
(wanna go underground)
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
For walking away
Too much rejection
No love injection
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell
You'll find someone true (down underground)
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon
It's only forever
It's not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground
Underground
(heard about a place today)
I, I'm underground
(nothing never hurts again)
Heard about a place today
(daddy, get me out of here)
Where nothing never hurts again
(wanna go underground)
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
(wanna go underground)
I, I'm underground
(get me underground)
Sister, sister, please take me down
(daddy, get me out of here)
I, I'm underground
(wanna go underground)
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Did you know that ....
Cissy Houston (Whitney Houston’s Aunt), Chaka Khan and Luther Vandross are among the singers providing backup vocals for this track.
If you listen very carefully at the end with the fade out, you can hear David singing "sister, sister take me down town". Only heard that after playing the song too loud (okay, extra too loud) one day. Very Soul Boy.
