The Big Dig

(Verse 1)

The earth is soft beneath my feet, a patch of dark desire

We started small, a shallow feat, but now the need is dire

I never asked for your strong hand, or that heavy, meaty friend

But you said, "Darlin', understand, I'll see this to the end."

(Chorus)

You're helping me excavate, you're making the pit much deeper

With every motion, every grate, my hidden, buried keeper

Oh, the aperture's a tight squeeze, I see your massive instrument

It causes me a moment's unease, the space is way too scant

But you've got that determined smile, you know just what to do

We'll clear this space for a little while, and I'm trusting it to you.

(Verse 2)

The sweat is beading on your brow, the implement is gleaming bright

You push it deep, inside me now, with all your focus and your might

The way you handle that long piece of meat, it shows your deep devotion

Making progress, stroke by stroke, this rhythmic, slow motion

I just scratched the surface first, not knowing how to sink it down

You quenched me of my undying thirst, the deepest in this town.

(Chorus)

You're helping me excavate, you're making the pit much deeper

With every motion, every grate, my hidden, buried keeper

Oh, the aperture's a tight squeeze, I see your massive instrument

It causes me a moment's unease, the space is way too scant

But you've got that determined smile, you know just what to do

We'll clear this space for a little while, and I'm trusting it to you.

(Bridge)

It's just a little indentation, a pocket in the field

But with your fierce dedication, the stubborn dirt will yield

I watch you work, with focus true, defying all the odds

This simple job, you'll see it through, with your gift from the good gods.

(Chorus)

You're helping me excavate, you're making the pit much deeper

With every motion, every grate, my hidden, buried keeper

Oh, the aperture's a tight squeeze, I see your massive instrument

It causes me a moment's unease, the space is way too scant

But you've got that determined smile, you know just what to do

We'll clear this space for a little while, and I'm trusting it to you.

(Outro X2)

Yes, I'm trusting it to you...(harder darling)

Digging out this little niche...(it feels so good)

It's sure to get the job done...(until I’m out of breath)

Mmm, it's sure to get the job done.
