Down In the Hole

Lyrics

Watch your head on that root
 Got to let your eyes adjust
 I'm sorry about your suit
 Can't do nothing about the dust
 Welcome down underground
 Hunker down a spell
 Gets to feel like home to me
 Though I know it looks like hell
 Down in the hole
 Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep
 And the nights are long and cold
 Down in the hole
 Light and love and the world above
 Mean nothing to the mole
 (Don't mean nothing to the mole)
 Never gets real hot down here
 Fifty five degrees
 It's always a little bit damp, I fear
 But I've never seem to freeze
 Mushrooms and earthworms
 Fancy stuff to eat
 A world of quiet contemplation (Oh, yes)
 Just below the street
 Down in the hole
 Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep
 And the nights are long and cold
 Down in the hole
 Light and love and the world above
 Mean nothing to the mole
 I'm in a hole
 Since I lost my baby
 Living in a hole
 Since I lost my girl
 Would you play in the moonlight
 Would you dance in the dirt
 Come home way past daybreak
 Cockleburs all stuck in your shirt
 Come back home to twilight
 Come back home to me
 Subterranean river you are
 Meets the molten sea
 Down in the hole
 Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep
 And the nights are long and cold
 Down in the hole
 Light and love and the world above
 They show nothing to the mole
 Down in the hole
 Light and love and the world above
 Got nothin' for the mole
 Ain't got nothin'
 For the mole
 Look out for that
 Look out for that
 Look out for that root
 Look out for that root
 Welcome down underground
 Welcome
