Below the Surface

from An Eli by Better Promises

lyrics

Suppose that you were a private detective
and into your office walked a strange looking client
would you believe him if they told you their was a Martian embassy hidden somewhere
You're sending me things in languages that I don't understand
I don't understand
put you in the closet at any place and time in history
look, we guarantee to teach you any languages you need to move freely in any year without risk of detection
where spies from the martian planet were preparing for the invasion of earth

How many hidden tunnels below the surface
Do you think America's got?
Isn't just one scary enough?
Pablo Escobar up under the white house lawn
We going Underground
You ain't gonna hear us coming
we're going to pull the floor out you ain't gonna hear a sound
underground
until the floor disappears from underground
Underground

They have to get us alone to put us in the time machine and send us back
Well then that's it!
We'll never be alone
We'll never be alone
We'll never be alone
why not take your vacation in time
the story goes on
this couple is terribly important for a new project
why not take your vacation?
why not?
why not?
they escape into the past and they kill a man who follows them to bring them back
Why not take your vacation in time as well as place?
Underground, an explosion, a terrible explosion, and my hands burned and the building broke
We'll get through someway
I won't let you go back to that place
where will we go now?
Hello? Hello?
"Mr...?"
"Who's idea is this? It's 3 in the morning"
"Yes yes. I just wanted to remind you that a rat may hide in the forest but a fox can always find them.
