lyrics

you are digging
trying to reach solid ground
you want to get it right this time
meet a girl you really like this time
don't wait around for her to come to you
you have never shown certitude
59 years later and you're sure you really hate her
so you wait 'til you're born again
then you're born again

you are digging
trying to reach solid ground
you want to get it right this time
have children that you like this time
but she has grown sour by the hour
she shows plenty of uncertainty
by your daughter's 21st you are long of the earth
but then you're born again

what's the point in trying and trying and trying
when you never get it right each time

you should be over traveling through the dirt
with your body spread so far apart
what's the point in trying and trying and trying
when you never get it right each time

this colossal life you've tried to lead
has thrown you completely

but you're still digging
trying to reach solid ground
