The woman at the motel is hard of hearing She doesn’t understand the way I speak So I straighten out my accent, and give her every last cent Said, “I need a room to see me through the week” I’m hungry but the works not coming easy I’m tired, except for when I’m not awake  I put on my shirt and tie, tell myself another lie “No, you’re not gonna miss another lucky break” I 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. 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 sorrow 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 But still I 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. When I’m running from the ruckus, hiding from the circus, down beneath the surface with you.
