Sun comes every morning, but it ain't no friend
I get dressed and I go back again
The rain it keeps on fallin', on twisted bones and dirt
I'm buried to my heart here in this hurt
The fire keeps on burnin', you're waiting in the cold
Down in the hole

Dark and bloody autumn, pierces my heart
The memory of your kiss tears me apart
The sky above is turning, the world below's gone gray
I thought that I could turn and walk away
But the fire keeps on burnin', I'm working in the cold
Down in the hole

Radio's cracklin' with the headlines
Wind in the phone lines
The sun upon your shoulder
Empty city skyline
The day rips apart
A dark and bloody arrow pierced my heart

I got nothin' but hard blue sky and sunshine
The things you left behind
I wake to find my city's gone to black
The days just keep on fallin'
Your voice it keeps on callin'
I'm gonna dig right here until I get you back
The fires keep on burnin', I'm here with you in the cold
Down in the hole (Down in the hole)
Down in the hole (Down in the hole)

Watch your head on that root
Got to let your eyes adjust
I'm sorry about your suit
Can't do nothing about the dust
Welcome down underground
Hunker down a spell
Gets to feel like home to me
Though I know it looks like hell

(Chorus)
Down in the hole
Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep
And the nights are long and cold
Down in the hole
Light and love and the world above
Mean nothing to the mole

(Don't mean nothing to the mole)
Never gets real hot down here
Fifty five degrees
It's always a little bit damp, I fear
But I've never seem to freeze
Mushrooms and earthworms
Fancy stuff to eat
A world of quiet comtemplation (Oh, yes)
Just below the street

- Chorus -
I'm in a hole
Since I lost my baby
Living in a hole
Since I lost my girl

Would you play in the moonlight
Woul you dance in the dirt
Come home way past daybreak
Cockleburs all stuck in your shirt
Come back home to twilight
Come back home to me
Subterranean river you are
Meets the molten sea

- Chorus -

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Will all your money
Buy you forgiveness
Keep you from sickness
Or keep you from cold?

Will all your money
Keep you from madness
Keep you from sadness
When you're down in the hole?

'Cause you'll be down in the gutter
You'll be bummin' for cigarettes
Bummin' for nylons
In the American Zone

You'll be down in the hole
Yeah, down in the hole
No escape from trouble
Nowhere to go

Down in the gutter
Beggin' for cigarettes
Beggin' forgiveness
All that you know

Down in the hole
After diggin' the trenches
Looking for cover and findin' out there ain't nowhere nowhere to go
Nowhere nowhere nowhere to go

None of your money
Will buy you forgiveness
None of your jewelry
None of your gold

Your black market cigarettes
Your American nightclubs
Ah, they've got nowhere left

Something for nothing
All of your friends gone
Something for nothing
That's all that you know

There's something down in the hole
Down down down in the hole
There's something down down down down in the hole

Down in the Hole (Tom Waits) 4:53

When you walk through the garden
You gotta watch your back
I beg your pardon
Walk the straight and narrow path

Now if you walk with Jesus
He’s gonna save your soul
You got to keep the Devil
Way down in the hole

He’s got the fire and the fury
At his command
You don’t have to worry
When your holding Jesus’ hand

We’ll all be safe from Satan
When the thunder rolls
You got to keep the Devil
Way down in the hole

All the Angels sing
‘Bout Jesus’ mighty sword
They shield you with their wings
Keep you close to the Lord

Don’t heed to temptation
For his hands are so cold
You got to help me keep the Devil
Way down in the hold

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole

You got to help me keep the Devil
Down in the hole
Help me keep the Devil
Way down in the hole

Help me!
Help me!
v You have to help me
You got to help me
Ah, help me keep the Devil
Down in the hole
Help me keep the Devil
Way down in the hole
