Album Version Demo Version
Welcome
You're under control
And buried like a mole
A thousand feet below
Waiting
We're all that we've got
Our reputation's shot
A ninety-story fall

No one here can make a sound
We're all ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

Pipe down
Stay under control
It's getting so absurd
Soon everything will turn
It's our time
To see the Sun
There'll be a crack
And our day will come
Maybe then we'll be the ones
You never can be sure
The shot heard 'round the world

No one here can make a sound
We're just ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

No one here can make a sound
We're just ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

All the walls are coming down
We're still hanging around
We are digging in the trenches
Of the new underground

(All right, yeah, all right, uh-huh)
(All right, yeah, all right, uh-huh)
(Yeah, I got it, uh-huh, all right)
(Uh-huh, all right, yeah, uh-huh)
(Uh huh, I got it, morning, I know you are)
(I got it, I got it, make that shit funky, yeah)
Welcome
You're under control
And buried like a mole
and never letting go
Exit
It's all that you've got
A reputation's shot
Was ninety stories tall

No one here can make a sound
They keep pulling me down
I am standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

Pipe down
Get under control
So willfully obscure
They're never letting go
It's that time
To see the Sun
Read all the lights
And then the tyrants come
Maybe this could be the one
You never can be sure
The shot heard 'round the world

No one here can make a sound
We're just ghosts in this town
I am standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

Only ghosts in this town
We're just coming around
We are sinking in the trenches
Of the new underground

No on here can make a sound
They keep pulling me down
I am standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

Thanks to folkstar and skillet for their mad turntable skillz in providing transcriptions of the demo version.
