Paroles de Tunnels

I knew no vices and I knew no sins
I knew the words but they didn't sink in
Stayed out those tunnels that pull people down
There's more of those tunnels in your home town
Fell far from grace, so far I couldn't see
And oh underground, I was that far from the tree

We're all digging if you wanna know
Fixing, digging, far too slow
Far too slow

We dug for money, we shovelled four tons
And the end wasn't funny, though we'd all had fun
Limping and broken, the tunnel fell in
I've been limping from tunnels since my original sin
Birthright's a trouble, my father dug too
He got where he was going at the age of 62

We're all digging if you wanna know
Fixing, digging, far too slow
Far too slow

[instrumental]

A new pair of boots and a chisel in your name
Says we could be in the same hole attracting the same blame
We're all digging if you wanna know
Fixing, digging, far too slow
Far too slow

[instrumental]

We're all digging if you wanna know
Fixing, digging, far too slow
Far too slow
