Lyrics The Hollow Earth - Pere Ubu

The Hollow Earth

If the sun won’t arrive in the morning.
And the moon won’t arrive in the evening, too —
then we start to get a kind of picture of how it would be to…
Baby, to live without you.
There’s a hole in the bucket.
There’s a rock in my shoe.
I’m working up a set of notions of how it would be to…
Baby, to live without you.
Warning!
Warning!
Here we have the deep water.
Danger: Strange Feelings.
Danger: Strange Feelings.
Five o’clock in the morning.
And there’s something happening here.
Why, I finally get a kind of picture.
The point is coming through.
Clouds of mystery clear.
I drop down a hole.
I find a hollow earth.
I wake up in a land of extremes —
to find the worst that could be,
that everything would be just what it seems.
Warning!
Warning!
Here we have the deep water.
Danger: Strange Feelings.
If the sun won’t arrive in the morning.
And the moon won’t arrive in the evening, too…
Then we start to get a kind of picture —
The light is coming through.
Clouds of mystery clear.
I drop down a hole.
I find a hollow earth.
I wake up in a land of extremes —
to find the worst that could be,
that everything would be just what it seems.
Warning!
Warning!
There we have the deep water.
Danger: Strange Feelings.
