[Verse 1]

The answer's always no

To questions of a private nature

The lights are always low

In settings of a conversation

The ankle trips a wire

While phasing into oscillation

We'll take it when we go

And leave behind our reservations

It goes down

[Chorus]

It's never the same and the nights always glow

There's nothing to see and nowhere to go

It's easy to say you're happier when you're disturbed

The grey lights in your head

Getting down the germs

I'm lazy and tame and the chimes always blow

A glimmering sound on the breeze when you go

It's never a shame and I've learned to live with the worms

(Underground)

Getting down the germs

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

She's happy when it grows

To heights above a normal nature

The spirit always shows

A life beyond a resignation

The hammer breaks the toes

A sliver of a conversation

It's just above a hum

We'll talk about it at the station

It goes down

[Chorus]

It's never the same and the nights always glow

There's nothing to see and nowhere to go

It's easy to say you're happier when you're disturbed

The grey lights in your head

Getting down the germs

I'm lazy and tame and the chimes always blow

A glimmering sound on the breeze when you go

It's never a shame and I've learned to live with the worms

(Underground)

Getting down

[Bridge]

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down the germs

Getting down, getting down, getting down

Getting down the germs

[Chorus]

It's never the same and the nights always glow

There's nothing to see and nowhere to go

It's easy to say you're happier when you're disturbed

The grey lights in your head

Getting down the germs

I'm lazy and tame and the chimes always blow

A glimmering sound on the breeze when you go

It's never a shame cuz they love to watch when you squirm

(All around)

Getting down

Getting down the germs
