I want to stay below the streets
I want to play behind the scenes
I shy away from surface freaks
I stay below

Thirty stories below daylight
In the channels it's always night
Between the flush of the rush hours
When the surface dwellers are away from their showers
In the tunnels that slake the cities thirst
So full of shit sometimes they're gonna break or burst
The stench of it would send you reelin'
Cold concrete ceiling a safe warm feeling

Nocturnus

Third rail leads me to home
My piece of the world where no other man goes
I don't need a torch anymore to see
Satan on his porch this ain't for the weak
On the street I see you all stressed and screaming
In my place while I lay dreaming
Fight for the space on the terra dwell
I'm keepin' to my heaven under your hell

Without the underworld there would be no above
Without the otherworld there would be no above
Without the underworld there would be no above
Without the underworld there would be no above

I want to stay below the streets
I want to play behind the scenes
I shy away from surface freaks
I stay below

Without the underworld there would be no above
Your precious topsoil would be one big flood
The creepy crawler Nocturnus
They try to drive us out and burn us
They are the invaders
Not we of the underbelly
Life above left me no room
I laugh and slither down forty flights to my womb

Without the underworld there would be no above
Without the otherworld there would be no above
Without the underworld there would be no above

I want to stay below the streets
I want to play beneath your feet
I shy away from the surface freaks
I stay below I play below I pray below just lay me low

Nocturnus
