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



(chorus)

Down in the hole

Lordit'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 dampI fear

But I've never seem to freeze

Mushrooms and earthworms

Fancy stuff to eat

A world of quiet comtemplation (ohyes)

Just below the street



- chorus -

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

Woul 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



- chorus -
