about

Tunneling all your life back to where you started, sometimes you have to stop digging . .

lyrics

Em
I’ve been digging this tunnel nearly all my life,
sometimes with a pick then a grapefruit knife
I’ve been scratching and scraping the earth till it hurts,
breathing in soil with my eyes full of dirt

Am
I’m a long way underground, I’m a guerrilla germ cell,
B7
I’m coming up for air from the boneyards of Hell.
Em
I’ve got, tube maps and blue prints and sewer designs,
I’ve studied ant passages, magnetic lay lines
I’ve been excavating bones, I’ve been digging a ditch,
I’m the mole hill in your backyard a scratch you can’t itch!

I’m a long way underground, I’m a guerrilla germ cell,
(Em) I’m coming up for air from the boneyards of Hell.
I’m deep down in the earth, but put your ear to the ground
(B7) I’m coming up with fire, sword, famine and sound

Em (loud instrumental, reverse guitar, Bass descending scale)

I’m a long way underground, I’m a guerrilla germ cell,
I’m coming up for air from the boneyards of Hell.
I’m deep down in the earth, but put your ear to the ground
I’m coming up with fire, sword, famine and sound
Em
I’ve been mining now for the last 20 years,
nothing to stop us but guns fists and tears
I’ve been excavating bones, I’ve been digging a ditch,
I’m the sink hole in your backyard a scratch you can’t itch!

Em open G
I’m alive and digging in this mine of bones
drunk and dancing in this yard of headstones!
