Underneath the basement
I am the king of sensation
Following cicadas
Underground for another few years
Slowly as the glaciers
I crack my skull on the hard wooden corner

I am not a fighter
I am only human
I fall over backwards
As you close the door
I am only human
Rising up to heaven
Rolling off your shoulder
As you close the door
I am not a fighter
I am only human
I fall over backwards
As you close the door
