Tales of the future Tales of the past A tale of outer space Tales tied to the mast A tale of murderous men A tale of where and when Tales of the deep blue sea And the hearts that have lost their key My name is everywhere Fallen to earth from somewhere My name will bring you joy Your heart I will destroy Telling stories The world goes 'round But for the underdog Pull at my heart strings Tales of dark and light In my head tonight I am the underdog Take care, my earthlings My life, it has a truth A truth of worth to you And imagination's free I'm an endless nobody My rhythm has a flow I'm a part of the undertow You're capturing the fog We are the underdog My words will bring you fear Will make you cry, my dear Alone for the most Already you've seen my ghost Telling stories The world goes 'round But for the underdog Pull at my heart strings Tales of dark and light In my head tonight I am the underdog Take care, my earthlings I am the soul who keeps you captured I am the one who deals in rapture Stand and fight yourself through pages Rectify the world that rages Slept upon shelves under load Of the words to which you are betrothed Clear spaces deep in time And I give to you my every crime Telling stories The world goes 'round But for the underdog Pull at my heart strings Tales of dark and light In my head tonight I am the underdog Take care, my earthlings
