Whatever Happened to Nash the Slash

Living under the city

Living down with the subway trains

Mummy's rags like a second skin

Silk top-hat and electric violin

Down below where he couldn't be seen

Down below alone with his machines

There's a phantom living underneath the street

Down the stairs you can hear him under your feet

     And whatever happened to the underground

     It's a midnight movie for the folks out of town

     Here and gone in a second's flash

     Whatever happened to Nash the Slash

The invisible man with his reel to reel

Electric drone and feedback squeal

Dressed to the nines as the night comes on

See him in a taxi-cab in the light of dawn

Playing to strike a nerve

Glass Eye and Dead Man's Curve

See his name scrawled on the subway walls

With Armand Schaubroeck Steals and the New York Dolls

     And whatever happened to the underground

     It's a midnight movie for the folks out of town

     Here and gone in a second's flash

     Whatever happened to Nash the Slash
