Under These Clouds

She says i deserve much better than this

It's getting pretty plain to see

She tells her boss,"here's my butt,

Why don't you give it a kiss-

You got all you're gonna get outta me"

Twenty years ago with time in a glass

Graduation day to pave the way

Nothing to show but a life moving too fast

And a fear of almost everything

And a fear of almost everything

But they say get down under these clouds

I was born down under these clouds

So i stand up and sing it out loud

Someone's still alive under their shroud

And i don't wanna die

Under these clouds

Her momma tried real hard not to pass it along

And so her momma did before that

Somewhere, some day,

Someone's singin' their song

How everything good goes bad

And it really was a gradual thing

Passed as easy as a cigarette

You wake up one day wrapped in a ball of string

Feelin' nothing good's happened to you yet

Feels like nothing good's happened to you yet

But they say get down under these clouds

I was born down under these clouds

So i stand up and sing it out loud

Someone's still alive under their shroud

And i don't wanna die
