PIXIES LYRICS - Dig For Fire

"Dig For Fire"



there is this old woman

she lives down the road

you can often find her

kneeling inside of her hole

and i often ask her

"are you looking for the mother lode?"

huh?

no.

no my child, this is not my desire

and then she said



i'm digging for fire [4x]



there is this old man

who spent so much of his life sleeping

that he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years

he resides

on a beach

in a town

where i am going to live

and i often ask him

"are you looking for the mother lode?"

huh?

no.

no my child, this is not my desire

and then he said



i'm digging for fire [4x]
