Dig yourself a hole and throw your asthma in   Throw the toys in after   Cover them with earth      Dig another hole and throw your conscience in   Drop your hiccups down   And arrange them well      Dig a deeper hole and bury all those words   Bury all the fangs   That they bared last night      Dig another one and put yourself inside   And close your eyes   It's comfortable         Crawling through the house in darkness   Cause I'm looking for a blanket   Yeah, I've got another hole to fill now   Gotta keep them going   Gather clothes and books and photos   Gather anything of value   And I'll cover them with dirt and compost   Make a place to lay my head         No light in this room   Just the glow from the oven   And the screech of their laughter is all you can hear   If you just close your eyes   You can pretend it's heaven   We might be crooked now   But we're even when we grow      If you catch yourself drifting   If your feet leave the ground   Warp your arms around a lamp post   Or just drift until you're found   If you could see me now   We'd laugh yourself to stitches   We might be crooked now   But it doesn't matter what we show   Cause we'll be even when we grow
