lyrics

Can you see the bag I’m carrying around with me
It has a severed head inside and it’s so heavy
I’m looking for a place to bury it, to bury it
Where no-one will ever find it, they’ll never find it

I’ll dig a hole in the soil, the soil
Oh the toil, the toil
I’ll dig a hole in the soil, the soil
Oh the toil, the toil

But I can never dig a hole far enough down
I fear the shallow grave will one day be found
Someone will come along and dig it up again
And I will have to face the severed head my old friend

So I will make a fire, a fire
Oh I tire, I tire
I will make a fire, a fire
Oh I tire, I tire

In the field where I stand
Make a fire with my hands
It will leave a mark on the land
Like a bruise on the face of a woman
