Digging In The Pit

Fallen down the deep, off the bridge, without a microphone,Landed in the ditch, in the shit,
bitten to the bone. Haven't got a hope, it's like holding onto soap when my hands are wet,
My colour's fading fast just like my inkjet, I think I need a cigarette.

Only one thing for it, I can't ignore it, digging, even though it hurts,if I stay here any longer
to ponder things will get worse,so I pick up a shovel, start digging, digging down...

I'm digging in the pit, digging in the pit, digging in the pit, I'm digging in the pit.

Going to get it ship shape, even if I'm running late. Hurry up for Gods sake because I'm sliding
down the fire escape,Going to get even. No you're not! Going to appreciate what you've got!
Even if you're full of rot and smelling like a piss pot!Even if you're sinking down..

You're digging in the pit, Digging in the pit, Digging in the pit, You're digging in the pit..

Now darkness closes in around me 'till it's found me in this bloody mess,it'll nail me to the wall,
I can't see at all, I need a rest.As I dig the midges cloud around my face and I start to itch,
and I sometimes wish it ended there and then when I fell down to the pit..

But something burns inside me, always finds me, something burning in my soul,I never eat,
I never sleep, I never reap what I did sow. All I do is dig this fucking hole.. Digging down...

And I'm digging in the pit. DIgging in the pit. You're digging in the pit.
We're all digging in the pit.
