Just under the surface
Isn’t that what they say?
Just under the surface
It’s all still in play
Better have your bag of money
When the piper comes for pay
Just under the surface
Never far away

Just under the surface

Down beneath the ice
There’s something swimming in the dark
Down beneath the ice
It thinks it knows just who you are
It’s waiting for the smallest crack
So it can pull you to the floor
Beneath the ice
Never very far

Apologies and forgiveness
The passage of time
Are all next to nothing
At the scene of a crime
Yes, the files are all locked away
But so easy to find
So easy to find

Just under the surface
Isn’t that what they say?
The present can desert us
When the past comes to play
You better have your bag of money
When the piper comes for pay
Just under the surface
Never far away
Never far away
