So you think you're gonna lay down baby

and you're workin' on your alabi

you had a visit from the white shirts baby

and you wanna be a stand up guy



But you're never gonna sit for no one

red beans and denim blue

you heard the one about the third time lucky

did you think that we were talkin to you?



Get your head down

and keep your eyes open

you better think about the thrill of the chase

when your miles away



Eddie goes underground

and digs himself a deep one

that boy's swallowed up without a trace

is what the papers say



I heard you had a little trouble up in stanislaus county with that girl

the one you didn't ask about her age

you thought that you could straighten it out with money

like a man of the world

but they're looking for you eddie,

boy, they're sweepin out your cage



Eddie goes underground

and digs himself a deep one

that boy's swallowed up without a trace

is what the papers say

and you know its all a misunderstanding

but you know the way that they are

bon voyage, happy landing

you'll be windin' up your business

while your gassin' up your car



Eddie goes underground



i know you had a last time and a time before that

now you got it all figured out you're gonna get them off your back



Eddie, get your head down

and keep your eyes open

you better think about the thrill of the chase

when your miles away



Eddie goes underground

and digs himself a deep one

that boy's swallowed up without a trace

is what the papers say



Eddie goes underground

Eddie digs a deep one

Eddie's swallowed up without a trace

is what the papers say



Eddie goes underground

Eddie goes underground
