Lyrics

verse 1
there are burrows & tunnels in the city below
where it's always damp tho' it never snows
where some make their home beneath the concrete turf
way down yonder in the red, red earth

verse 2
dark & moist & as quiet as a tomb
where night prevails in every single room
where everybody prays for just a little rebirth
way down yonder in the red, red, red earth

bridge
it's like lookin' up from the bottom of a well
with the light so far that it's hard to tell
if you're ever going to make it out again
so you close your eyes & count to ten

verse 3
some dig for diamonds & then there's some who dig for gold
sometimes life is bought & sometimes it is sold
but there's a gonna be a price to pay whatever it is worth
when you go digging in the red, red, red, red, red, red earth
