Wallflowers - Up From Under lyrics

Album: Breach (2000)

Well I am down here in the well
Looking back up at the hill
Well I thank heavens I fell
Must look more
like myself
Now everyone is so kind
Everyone looks like
a long lost friend of mine
I am on top of the world again
When I am looking
up from under Babylon

I had a home in the fields
Earned my wage in the factories there
And I was raised by the mill
And I worked with my brothers there
I told my mother I would always write
I headed west for the coast
with the big city lights
Now mamma I am so sorry I have forgotten
But now I am looking
up from under Babylon

Now tell me how far I have been
And how deep was I in
Tell me how I conceived
The vanity to believe
That I´d not be outnumbered
By the thumbs I´ve been under

Now stray dogs in the street
Learn how to beg, steal, borrow & cheat
And in the dead summer heat
I fell asleep with blood on my teeth

But those days before I met you girl
Were just ice cream falling down
on the shoes of my world
I am so happy that you are my friend
When we are looking
up from under Babylon

When we are looking
up from under Babylon
