lyrics

Feel my toes down in the mud
Feel it seep into my blood
Sinking down to my waist
The ground as thick as paste
Every night I dream this dream
Like to know what it could mean
And I wish were flying, I wish I were flying
The good earth opens and drags me in
Yanks me out of my thin skin

Down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the weeds don't grow
Down in the ground where no rivers flow
Down in the ground here I go

Something strange sticks to my toes
With a smell lingers in my nose
It tastes just like lime and salt
As I slip between a jagged fault
Every night you'll find me here
For reasons that are not made clear
And I wish were flying, I wish I were flying
The good earth opens and drags me down
Down below the dirty ground

I'm going down, down in the ground
Down among the roots and decay
I'm going down, down in the ground
There is no light to point the way
I'm going down, down in the ground
Down among the dirt and the stones
I'm going down, down in the ground
Down among the dead men's bones
