Nether World Lyrics

The Nether World

There's a row of doors at the top of the stairs

It's an icy night but there's fire in the air

Dreamy shadows looking heaven sent

Wink and whisper baby, this here's for rent

50 marks from a 100 Harry's

1000 Johns and a million Marys

In the Nether World, the young come easy

It's fantasy, that makes some uneasy

No questions asked, no answers given

No judgment passed, it's forgotten and forgiven

It's a hard life at the bottom of the pile

The elite moralize with a nod and a smile

Lonely shadows adrift in the storm

Park their emotions wherever it's warm

It's a story as old as the night

A buyer and a seller, so who's wrong and who's right.

The Nether World is a parade of diversity

Politicians, teachers from the university

People have their urges they need to release

It's a way to put the spirit at peace

In the Nether World there's no headaches or games

It's right down to business, that's why they came

Loneliness deserves attention

No lingering ties, strings or pretension

In the Nether World what took months takes minutes

No winding roads that end with limits

A brush with pleasure in the danger zone

A fantasy come true that stays unknown

In the Nether World there's a flower veneer

Enjoy the view but don't get too near

The closer it gets, the more it's clear

There's shattered dreams, and lives of despair.
