Open up the ground and let me in
Searching for my soul, where do I begin
Sitting here behind the wire
When I clear my mind, are you what I desire
My school days are numbered
And this real world keeps banging on my door
I've got a suitcase in my hand I try to hide
But I can't run anymore
You've gotta open up the ground and let me in
Open up the ground and let me in
You've gotta open up the ground and let me in
Open up the ground and let me in, yeah
You've gotta open up your heart and let me in
Shrouded in a mystery when I began
And I put myself behind the ropes
I take another swing, I take it on the chin
C'mon and open up the ground and let me in
Open up the ground and let me in
You've gotta open up the ground and let me in
Open up the ground and let me in
Let me in, yeah
And when you're lost on solid ground
You've woken up to find
Your best laid plans have gone to waste
And every dream that crashes down
Looking bare knuckled on the ground
And you don't know where to begin
You've gotta open up the ground and let me in
Open up the ground and let me in
You've gotta open up the ground and let me in
Open up the ground and let me in, oh yeah
La, da, da, la, da, da, oh
La, da, da, la, da, da, oh
La, da, da, la, da, da, oh
La, da, da, la, da, da, oh
La, da, da, la, da, da, oh
La, da, da, la, da, da, oh
La, da, da, la, da, da, oh
