A Shadow Underneath

Lisa heard a whisper in her computer screen
And in the sad laser flicker of the Xerox machine
Out the tinted windows cars sped silently
And everything was quiet, everything was clean
But she felt something waiting, a shadow underneath
Ohhhh Oh a shadow underneath
Another cup of coffee, snacks from the machine
She stared down the hallway at the plastic trees
Waiving under air ducts in the automated breeze
A whisper, a flicker, trembling in the leaves
And she wanted to see it, but she didn't want to see
Ohhhh Oh she didn't want to see.

Down the elevator, falling silently
In the parking lot silver puddles gleamed
A canyon of buildings, lazy pipes of steam
And all of it whispered, all of it breathed
And all the little shadows danced around her feet
Ohhhh Oh they danced around her feet
And she wanted to see them, but she didn't want to see
Ohhhh Oh she didn't want to see
Ohhhh Oh.
