Dig Me A Hole - The Elders

It came from out of the lake

A dream so dark it took no prisoners

Put its tail around my neck

And took me to a room with no visitors

I never meant to kill anyone

So put away your poison pen

Just say what’s done is done

No questions asked and none to defend

They’ll hang an innocent man

In the morning at half past ten

But if I ever do my time

I’d climb the walls to get back in

So dig me a hole to hide away

The story I live with one more day

So speak up now, my fair- weather friend

Or just get out of my way

We worked that gravyard shift

Never left th underground

Your foolproof plan and a cold hard kiss

That sold me out to leave this town

I could cheat that hangman’s noose

This punishment fits your crime

With one more chance to cut me loose

And meet at the money in two weeks' time
