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
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 comtemplation (oh, yes)
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 -
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 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 comtemplation (oh, yes) 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 - Explain Request ×
