Wallflowers - Up From Under Lyrics
Well Im down here in the wellLooking back up at the hillWell I thank heavens I fellMust look moreLike myselfNow everyone is so kindEveryone looks likeA long lost friend of mineIm on top of the world againWhen Im lookingUp from under babylonI had a home in the fieldsEarned my wage in the factories thereAnd I was raised by the millAnd I worked with my brothers thereI told my mother Id always writeI headed west for the coastWith the big city lightsNow mamma Im so sorry Ive forgottenBut now Im lookingUp from under babylonNow tell me how far Ive beenAnd how deep was I inTell me how I conceivedThe vanity to believeThat I would not be outnumberedBy the thumbs I have been underNow stray dogs in the streetLearn how to beg, steal, borrow and cheatAnd in the dead summer heatI fell asleep with blood on my teethBut those days before I met you girlWere just ice cream falling downOn the shoes of my worldIm so happy that youre my friendWhen were lookingUp from under babylonWhen were lookingUp from under babylon
