Underworld USA

[Verse: 1]

They said "The meek shall inherit the earth"

Oh God, that seems like so much work

I want to sing and dream and drink and cry

And let this night pass me by

[Pre-Chorus: 1]

Take me to the future, I'm ready

My affection is so unsteady

I can think of tomorrow

I can sleep through today

As the sun melts the ice caps away

[Chorus: 1]

I'll carry your cross now, baby

It's a blasphemous world today

We are the tender missionary

From the Underworld USA

[Verse: 2]

It is so easy to confess

When you are guilty of nothing less

Than a crooked, wretched, stupid, tepid

Indifference

[Pre-Chorus: 2]

Yeah, take me to your bedroom, I'm ready

My complexion is so unsteady

I remember tomorrow

I forget yesterday

I want to move into your body and stay

[Chorus: 2]

I'll carry your cross now, baby

It's a blasphemous world today

We are the tender missionary

From the Underworld USA

I'll bury your pain now, baby

Are you happier now, happier now?

In the tender cemetery

Where we always are

Here to stay

[Verse: 1]

They said "The meek shall inherit the earth"

I want to know what it's all worth

With a knife in my back

And a star in my eye

Let this life pass me by

[Pre-Chorus: 3]

Can you take me to your heaven, I'm ready

I know the weight of my heart is too heavy

I will love you with all of the love that I have

Even if that means there's none left for me

[Bridge:]

Left for me, left for me

Left for me, left for me

[Chorus: 2]

I'll carry your cross now, baby

It's a blasphemous world today

We are the tender missionary

From the Underworld USA

I'll bury your pain now, baby

Are you happier now, happier now?

In the tender cemetery

Where we always are

Here to stay

[Outro:]

A cosmic kiss in the dead of night

A curse lifted under streetlight

I will love you in the future forever

Until my heart explodes

And it will
