[Verse] Manhole cover sits alone Silent under heavy stone People rushing never see What's below you and me [Verse 2] City life above the ground No one hears the hidden sound Metal circle in the street World below where shadows meet [Chorus] Manhole cover out of sight Secrets in the dark of night Stories whispered in the drain Echoes of a hidden pain [Verse 3] Children play and lovers walk Never stop to think or talk Life above is full and grand Underneath a different land [Verse 4] Traffic hums a busy tune Morning sun to afternoon Underground a silent dance Never given second glance [Bridge] But oh the tales you could tell Hidden depths beneath the swell Manhole cover mystery Unseen world beneath the sea
