Bottomless Hole
(专辑: Singing Bones - 2003)
My name I
don't remember, though I
hail from Ohio I
had a
wife and children, good tires on my car What took me from my home and put me in the
earth Was the
mouth of a
deep, dark hole I
found behind my barn We'd been filling it with garbage as long as you could count Kitchen scraps and dead cows, tractors broken down But never did I
hear one thing hit the
ground And slowly I
came to fear that this was a
bottomless hole I
went out behind the
barn and stared down in that hole Late into the
evening my mind would not let go So I
got out my ropes and a
rusty claw-foot tub And I
rigged myself a
chariot to ride down in that hole My wife, she did help me, she fed me down the
ropes And then I
sank away from the
surface of this world With the
last rope pulled tight, I
had not reached the
end And in anger I
swung there, down in that dark abyss So I
got out my knife, I
told my wife goodbye I
cut loose from the
ropes and fell on down that hole And still I
am there falling down in this evil pit But until I
hit the
bottom, I
won't believe it's bottomless
