Alexei Panshin's The Abyss of Wonder









Diggin' a Hole



Diggin' a hole just like I bin told
Diggin' a hole, we're lookin' for gold
Diggin' a hole, why bless my soul
  We're diggin' a hole

Now look at the hole we're in
Deeper than it's ever been
Don't know how to get out again
   Look at that hole
  Just look at that hole


Out on a limb and there's no lookin' down
Out on a limb, want my feet on the ground
Out on a limb, it's bending on down
  We're out on a limb

Now the limb is startin' to crack
Looks like it's about to snap
Think it's too late to go back
  Out on a limb
  We're out on a limb


Out of control and our number is up
Out of control and the gas pedal's stuck
Out of control and we're shit out of luck
  We're out of control


We're so far out of control
Gotta fill in that hole
Need a way to make things whole
But we keep diggin' that hole


Just diggin' a hole like we bin told
Diggin' a hole, but there ain't no gold
Diggin' a hole, give me a pole
Gotta leap out of this hole

Look at the hole we're in
It's deeper than it's ever been
And we gotta get out again
  Look at that hole
  Look at that hole
  Just look at that hole
