Back to the Underground Lyrics by The Black Heart Procession

Six

2009

I was headed to the gallows
I was to hang or burn in flames
I remember the day you lit the fire
And watched our love turn to dust

I remember the flames higher and higher
I remember the way you laughed before you
Finally set me free
I try to recover every time
But every time I'm back on the ground
Back underground
Back underground
Every time

I was forced into the shadows
I was the fool beaten and bruised by the game
I held on to all of our ashes

I remember the flames higher and higher
I remember the way you laughed before you
Finally set me free
I try to recover every time
But every time I'm back on the ground
I try to recover every time
But every time I'm back on the ground
Back underground
Back underground
Every time
