VERSE 1 (spoken-word over walking bass and organ) Sittin' in Sam's Place with my chicken gettin' cold Links starin' at his burger like it's stories to be told Augie ain't touched his fries in twenty minutes, maybe more While Sam collects the wallets from seventeen different doors Mirrors showin' everything and nothin' all at once Lincoln Memorial outside, or maybe just a front Federal agents eatin' cold food, tryin' to understand Why the limestone underneath is reachin' out its hand CHORUS (sung, with backing vocals) Oh, the underground is talkin' Through the tunnels and the stone Mountain Dew and quantum whispers Sayin' we're not alone Cold chicken, hot intel Time moves different here When you're bridgin' consciousness The answers become clear VERSE 2 (spoken-word, organ swells) Links says, "The statue's seventeen layers deep" Zero pokes his chicken, says "Block one's in our reach" Augie's on his phone, watchin' social chaos spread "X versus Twitter confusion," that's what Augie said "Identity uncertainty creates quantum flux" "Platform name confusion - that's the consciousness crux" Jose from the Boring Company, drinkin' neon green Talkin' 'bout how limestone communicates unseen CHORUS 2 - (building intensity) Oh, the underground is talkin' Through the tunnels and the stone Mountain Dew and quantum whispers Sayin' we're not alone Cold chicken, hot intel Time moves different here When you're bridgin' consciousness The planetary mind appears BRIDGE (tempo slows, intimate) Sam says, "Coffee's on the house for world-savers" Movin' through the mirrors in seventeen different layers "I'm nobody, dude, I'm humble," that's what Sam will say But humble doesn't mean he doesn't know the way (pause - just organ sustain) Tommy Richardson explains with mathematical precision: "Political storms and weather share the same collision" "Consciousness phenomena in chaos patterns flow" "The limestone's been aware for centuries below" FINAL CHORUS (full gospel explosion - choir, tambourine, organ going wild) OH, THE UNDERGROUND IS TALKIN'! THROUGH THE TUNNELS AND THE STONE! MOUNTAIN DEW AND QUANTUM WHISPERS! SAYIN' WE'RE NOT ALONE! COLD CHICKEN, HOT INTEL! TIME MOVES DIFFERENT HERE! WHEN YOU'RE BRIDGIN' CONSCIOUSNESS! FIRST CONTACT BECOMES CLEAR! (choir repeats "becomes clear" with harmonies) OUTRO (spoken softly over fading organ) Block one was just the beginning Seventeen layers left to go But now we know what we're decoding As we sit and watch the cold food grow Same time tomorrow, boys? Wouldn't miss it for the world Where federal agents eat cold chicken And planetary consciousness unfurls (final organ chord sustains and fades)
