The woman at the motel is hard of hearing She doesn’t understand the way I speak So I straighten out my accent Give her every last cent Said “I need a room to see me through the week” I’m hungry but the work’s not coming easy I’m tired except for when I’m not awake But I put in my shirt and tie, Tell myself another lie “No, you’re not gonna miss another lucky break” I wake up early in the morning And fill the day with useful things to do But the only time it ever feels like living Is when I’m down beneath the surface with you When I’m running from the ruckus Hiding from the circus Down beneath the surface with you. My show last night was wrapped up by 11 There was eleven people breathing in that air Two who knew my name Two just watched the game Seven drowning sorry with despair. These Sunday nights are breaking me so slowly. Chasing down that runaway thrill Sometimes trying to play the game Feels like trying to find a vein I’m sick and tired of pushing water up this hill. Still I’ll wake up early every morning And fill the day with useful things to do But the only time it ever feels like living Is when I’m down beneath the surface with you When I’m running from the ruckus Hiding from the circus Down beneath the surface with you. The band pulls into Norfolk Street in Houston Pints of Guinness and plates of fish and chips And we say hello to Rusty and Teresa The friendly waitstaff here are working hard for tips We're thirsty so these pints are going down easy and now the crowd looks even bigger than before As we begin to play our set all our troubles we forget And we remember what it is we are doing this for I wake up early in the morning And fill the day with useful things to do But the only time it ever feels like living Is when I’m down beneath the surface with you When I’m running from the ruckus Hiding from the circus Down beneath the surface with you. When I’m running from the ruckus Hiding from the circus Down beneath the surface with you.
