Our Lady of the Underground [2010] [Russian translation]

[PERSEPHONE]

I don’t know about you, boys

But if you’re like me, then hanging around

This old manhole is bringing you down

Six-feet-under getting under your skin

Cabin fever is a-setting in

You’re stir crazy!

You’re stuck in a rut!

Or you could use a little pick-me-up

I can give you what it is you crave

A little something from the good old days

I got the wind right here in a jar

I got the rain on tap at the bar

I got sunshine up on the shelf

Allow me to introduce myself

Brother, what’s my name?

My name is…

[CROWD]

Our Lady of the Underground!

[PERSEPHONE]

Brother, what’s my name?

[CROWD]

Our Lady of Ways!

Our Lady of Means!

[PERSEPHONE]

Brother, what’s my name?

My name is…

[CROWD]

Our Lady of the Upside Down!

[PERSEPHONE]

Brother what’s my name?

I’ll tell you my name…

Persephone!

Come here, brother

Let me guess

It’s the little things you miss

Spring flowers

Autumn leaves

Ask me, brother

And you shall receive

Or maybe these just ain’t enough

Maybe you’re looking for some stronger stuff

I got a sight for the sorest eye

When’s the last time you saw the sky?

Wipe away your tears, brother

Brother, I know how you feel

I can see you’re blinded by the sadness of it all

But look a little closer

Everything will be revealed

Look a little closer

There’s a crack in the wall

You want stars?

I got a skyful

Put a quarter in the slot

You’ll get an eyeful

You want the moon?

I got her too

She’s right here waiting in my pay-per-view

Oh, how long’s it been?

A little moonshine ain’t no sin

One at a time, boys, straight line

What the boss don’t know

The boss won’t mind
