lyrics

GET ME OUT OF HERE

A flood-lit Virgin Mary
stares down at a mile-wide pit
Half this city fell inside
when they tunneled under it

And everybody here
lives life upside down
Because everybody's dreaming
about what's underground

Right now I might be seeing double
That just makes it twice as clear
I would jump that mile-wide pit
If it would get me out of here

They had all-night restaurants
a hundred years ago
They started digging for silver
When they'd dug up all the gold

In the hometown of Evel
I ordered humorous drinks
Got a lot of great stories
So what if my life stinks

Right now I might be seeing double
That just makes it twice as clear
I would jump that mile-wide pit
If it would get me out of here

He realized long ago
What just occurred to me
If you can't live well
Then die fantastically

I'll douse myself in gasoline
Roll myself to city hall
If I live or if I die
All the people will applaud
