Underworld uses the early-2000s language of leather, firearms and acrobatic combat for a vampire-and-Lycan feud, with Kate Beckinsale’s Selene caught at its centre.

[Verse 1]
Orange, orange, orange in the mouth again, straighten
Wearing stonewashed denim again, straighten
Carrying something wrapped in plastic, straighten
Curled on the blue velveteen again, straighten, straighten
Sightless yellow highrise, Bethnal Green, straighten
Corner tubeless, dark and wet, straighten
Ten tons slowing in again, straighten
With its glass eyes, a blue Formica halo
Stainless steel between the fingers, straighten
Pissed and leading ponytail, licking Colonel Sanders' fingers
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
The naming of killer boy
[Verse 2]
Everything's going West, nothing's going East, straighten
There's no need to be so uptight, straighten
Make up for all their messes, I could listen to you all day, what a laugh
Cut me, I bleed like you, haha
[Refrain]
The naming of killer boy
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Cover your teeth, I love you

Underworld →Don't bite me yet, I believe in you
I found you shopping in Europa on Wardour Street
Not phoning packwidth
[Verse 3]
Guilty as sin, straighten
Scratches on paper, pissed in a tubehole, straighten
Smelling of deepfried beans and whispering your name
Tubehole wind in my face, thunderin' gentle distant
Reactor, reactor, do you mind? Straighten
This is a random feature, random feature
This is a random feature
[Refrain]
Naming of killer boy
[Outro]
Wired up
[Instrumental Outro]
