The Bottomless Hole - The Handsome Family[00:00:00]
My name I don't remember[00:00:07]
Though I hail from Ohio[00:00:10]
I had a wife and children[00:00:13]
Good tires on my car[00:00:17]
What took me from my home[00:00:22]
And put me in the Earth[00:00:25]
Was the mouth of a deep dark hole[00:00:31]
I found behind my barn[00:00:34]
We'd been filling it with garbage[00:00:42]
As long as you could count[00:00:46]
Kitchen scraps and dead cows[00:00:50]
Tractors broken down[00:00:53]
But never did I hear one thing hit the ground[00:00:58]
And slowly I came to fear[00:01:07]
That this was a bottomless hole[00:01:10]
I went out behind the barn[00:01:18]
And stared down in that hole[00:01:22]
Late into the evening[00:01:26]
My mind would not let go[00:01:29]
So I got out my ropes and a rusty clawfoot tub[00:01:33]
And I rigged myself a chariot[00:01:42]
To ride down in that hole[00:01:46]
My wife she did help me[00:01:55]
She fed me down the ropes[00:01:58]
And then I sank away[00:02:01]
From the surface of this world[00:02:05]
When the last rope pulled tight[00:02:10]
I had not reached the end[00:02:13]
And in anger I swung there[00:02:18]
Down in that dark abyss[00:02:22]
So I got out my knife[00:02:27]
I told my wife goodbye[00:02:30]
I cut loose from the ropes[00:02:36]
And fell on down that hole[00:02:39]
And still I'm there falling[00:02:44]
Down in this evil pit[00:02:48]
But until I hit the bottom[00:02:52]
I won't believe it's bottomless[00:02:56]
