I ain't looking to put you down   I have no reason to try   it's just the strange way that the world is turning 'round   as if I need a reason why   five years in the underground   shaping sound      it's just a question of ten or two   it's just a matter of time   more and more with life it comes through knowing you   it's just another trip of mine   five years in the underground   counting down      five years in the underground   longer now   my soul is lifted above ground   I think I'm learning to fly   so why's it feel as if you try to hold me down   when all my life that's kept me trying   five years in the underground   shaping sound   five years in the underground   counting down      I know what this means to you   but am I part of your dream   'cause wheels are turning and I've got to see it through   though I ain't expecting nothing   five years in the underground   shaping sound   five years in the underground   counting down   five years in the underground   longer now   over now?
