"Ground Level" lyrics
"Ground Level"
You can make out all the exits
From a static position
One quick walk around will give you
All the relevant information
I'm never gonna to break my neck
Falling down stairs
Tan and mustard-yellow I-beam
Visible from the air
Tall space heater
Down the main hallway
Blue pilot light
Hissing all night
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
You can light a cigarette
Against the cooktop if you need to
Feel the heat against your forehead
Let it bleed through
You're never going to get by
On three hours' sleep a night
Unless you absolutely have to
And then you get by all right
Move in silence
If you can't stay still
Nobody sees your face
Through the security grille
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
