got to keep your head low
If you want to keep your head huh,
you got to keep your head low
Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head, huh
Oh, you gotta keep your head
In the coldest time of year
Why is it so hot down here?
It ain't right and it ain't natural
Lover, you were gone so long
So I built a found prayer
In the ground beneath your feet
oil drums and automobiles
Then I kept that furnace fair
with the fossils of the dead
Lover, when you feel that fire,
Think of it as my desire for you
Keep your head keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head ho
In the darkest time of year,
why is it so bright down here?
Brighter than a carnival,
In the ground on which you stood
When I made the neon shine
Silver screen, cathode ray
Brighter than the light of day
Lover, when you see that glare
Think of it as my despair
Think of it as my despair for you
They can't feel the rhythm
Poor boy working on a saw
And Lady Persephone's blinded
He did not see the storm coming
And the seasons are wrong,
and the wind is so strong
That's why times are so hard,
The gods have forgotten the
Low, keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head up
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Looking low and looking high
There is no food left to find
It's hard enough to feed yourself
That the song he's working on
From the wind, the wind, the wind
Eurydice was a hungry young girl
She was no stranger to the wind.
Like the mighty storm she
Only took a minute. Help!
But the wrath of the gods was in
Every year it's getting worse.
Did you think I'd be impressed
With this neon necropolis?
Lover, what have you become?
Warehouse walls and factory floors
And in the meantime up above
The harvest dies and people starve
It ain't right and it ain't natural
I do it for the love of you
If you don't even want my love
I'll give it to someone who does
Someone grateful for the fate
The comforts of a gilded cage
And doesn't try to fly away
Someone who could love these walls
That hold her close, and keep her safe
And think of them as my embrace
Sing along, keep the hate,
Sing along, keep the hate, keep the hate
Think of them as my embrace
