Low and Strange

Verse

Down in the root cellar where the water drips cold

Found a map sewn inside Grandpa's coat

Symbols I ain't never seen before

Pointin' somewhere beneath thе barn floor

Verse 2

Got a lantern and a shovel and a loaded gun

They say the truth is buried but I'm diggin' up one

The satellite went quiet 'round half past two

Now the cattle are acting strange too

Chorus

There's something crawlin' underneath this land

I feel it breathe when I press my ear down to the planks

Government men been askin' 'bout this farm

But I ain't gonna let 'em sound the alarm

No I ain't gonna let 'em sound the alarm

Post-Chorus

Deep down

Deep down

Down where the light don't follow

Verse 3

Stepped through the crack and the air turned green

Felt a hum come up from the machine

Walls ain't dirt they're metal and bone

And I think I hear my own voice on the radio tone

Chorus

There's something crawlin' underneath this land

I feel it breathe when I press my ear down to the planks

Government men been askin' 'bout this farm

But I ain't gonna let 'em sound the alarm

No I ain't gonna let 'em sound the alarm

Bridge

Mama said dig deeper

Daddy said stay out

Well I'm forty feet down and I see what they kept out

Skin on the walls and teeth in the dirt

And a hole in my chest that really really hurts

Chorus

There's something crawlin' underneath this land

I feel it breathe when I press my ear down to the planks

Government men been askin' 'bout this farm

But I ain't gonna let 'em sound the alarm

No I ain't gonna let 'em sound the alarm
