I'm saying open up And let the rain come pouring in Wash out this tired notion That the best is yet to come But while you're dancing on the ground Don't think of when you're gone
Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit Digging a ditch where silence lives Digging a ditch for when I'm old Digging this ditch my story's told Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise ..... Where all these questions spinning round my head will die
The problem is someone will try to convince you That they know the answer no matter the question Be wary of those who believe in a neat little world 'Cause it's just ..... crazy - you know that it is
Just as the warmth of a kiss brings the love alive It's right here by the fire where the answers lie... The trouble with you is you always want to find the fire When you're warming your hands by the fireside The trouble with you is you're always looking far and wide Oh, why not enjoy yourself by the fireside?
I call you up You pick up You call my bluff On the cards of love You hold too close Your hands to your chest I can't read your eyes But I confess It's lonely far from you
There's an emptiness inside her And she'd do anything to fill it in And though it's red blood bleeding from her now It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
Look at me in my fancy car And my bank account Oh, how I wish I could take it all down Into my grave, I'd save Take a look again, take a look again, Take a look again Everyday things change...stays the same
