The Hole

A friend of mine bought himself a shovel

Said i'm gonna tunnel me a line

He set out to be a rich man

Happiness is what he thought he'd find

got in too deep to see the diamonds

Down to dark to see the gold

Now he won't let go of the shovel

And he can't dig out of the hole

Chorus:

Deeper and deeper

Hes goin' down

Drivin' his future right into the ground

He thinks he's closer

The further he goes

But hes still on the bottom

And he can't dig out of the hole

I tried to throw the man a lifeline

I tried to send him down a rope

I don't think he hears me callin'

But every day I pray and i hope

Somehow he finally gets the message

Every spade of dirt he throws

Only gets him closer to the devil

And he can't dig out of the hole

CHORUS

Maybe we could learn a little lesson

Maybe this could shine a little light

Theres no healthy way to mess with

The line between a wrong and a right

Use the one chance you've been given

Cause once you're in the ground and cold

Its too late to start livin'

See you can't dig out of the hole

CHORUS
