The children say run away
On the streets no one plays
Going down to the bargain basement
See what you find if you have the patience
Down so low your nerves were raw
You find them all beneath the floor
Pass it by friends to meet
You find them all beneath the street

Too many secrets
Reasons to defeat us
Precious little reasons
To while away the days

Behind you, beneath you
Above you, all around you
It could have been you

Too many secrets
Reasons to defeat us
Precious little reasons
To while away the years

Behind you, beneath you
Above you, all around you, all around you

It's so complicated
Your problems were related
Crawling long and lowly
It's dawning on us slowly

Too many secrets
Reasons to defeat us
Precious little reasons
To while away the days

Behind you, beneath you
Above you, all around you, all around you

What happened in there did you lose your mind?
When they knocked at the door did you make it in time?
Did you talk to god to see a sign?
Was the devil next door was your soul on the line
Did it just appear did you ever chase it
Did you really fall down can you ever face it
Do you always remember what you do
'Cause it could have been you
It could have been you
