lyrics

Extra extra heard the news
Jump on the latest fad
Show your vulnerability
There’s riches to be had
Sell your house and pack your bags
Bring your dads and moms
Just below the surface
Brighter shine than polished bronze

{chorus}
Digging digging digging
I’ve gone out digging dirt for gold
I’ll pan this stretch of river
til my grandchildren get old
Every time I find another boulder in my head
I dig myself a deeper hole
Turn gold back into lead

Try try try again
And I’ll breath count 1 through 10
Underneath this soiled ground

This bitter trick of alchemy
Has got me so upset
I think tonight I might do things
Tomorrow I’ll regret
Don’t ask me to be mindful
Or to pray to any church
Just give me something strong
To keep me going while I search

{chorus}

Try try try again
And I’ll breath count 1 through 10
Underneath this soiled ground

Every time I fuck it up
Forgetting to behave
I wonder if there’s treasure
Buried just below the grave
I keep an extra shovel
Here if you want to assist
Though I’ve turned each rock
So many time I’m not sure gold exists

{chorus}
