Welcome to The Underground |

"I am proud that night after night and album after album, a mass of humanity I now refer to lovingly as the pop underground, come together and sing. Whether it's in theaters and concert venues around the world, in the privacy of our own homes or the constantly shifting landscape of social media, we are a scrappy tribe and we stand for something: Music that is found, shared and cared for despite access to traditional outlets; music that lives virally and through word of mouth; music that tells a story that people want to retell." - Andrew McMahon

Can't write another song about being young.
Not me, not now, I'm not that clever.
31 and my voice was shot,
Grew a beard, spent a year at the coffee shop,
You called to say "it's now or never."
Don't fall back now,
Don't fall back now.
We are the fortunate ones.
Pick me up in the parking lot, I've got a good buzz and a lottery ticket.
We are the fortunate ones.
And we don't care if we win or not, got a good buzz and a lottery ticket.
Guess I'll wait for the lightning strike,
Guess I'll pray for rain to make this right,
You've got these eyes that keep me hoping
In the shadows when I doubt myself, I've started to see with the lights out
You called to say "the sky is open"
Don't fall back now, don't fall back now.
We are the fortunate ones.
Pick me up in the parking lot, I've got a good buzz and a lottery ticket.
We are the fortunate ones.
And we don't care if we win or not, got a good buzz and a lottery ticket.
Made it home, barely alive, I was way too f*cked up to drive, to drive.
We are the fortunate ones.
Pick me up in the parking lot, I've got a good buzz and a lottery ticket.
We are the fortunate ones.
And we don't care if we win or not, got a good buzz and a lottery ticket.
Got a good buzz, and a lottery ticket.

| Oh WOW. The intro! The chorus of this is so different for him. There's a little censoring on "fucked up" which is kind of interesting hahaha | | Back to top | |

| I used the star symbol because I was like, he doesn't say too fucked up to drive, he says too f*cked up to drive… hahaha. I wonder why it's there - you can clearly hear what it's supposed to be and it's not like "fuck" is an uncommon word in his songs (my favourite is "the clicker's fucking broken" from the TPG b-sides). | | Back to top | |
