come in from the shadows
and step into striped light
all the loose we thought we tied up
turned out to be tied up way too tight
did we see somethin' here that matters
can we see what they say is clear in sight
we was taunted straight into tatters
and then we stepped into striped light
runnin' with the devil
was the devil I meant
diggin with the shovel
'til the shovel got bent
spellin' with the letters
in the letter I sent
diggin all day
didn't make a dent
seller door
not much more
underground and hotter
battering ram
buried in the sand
better not to bother
get out of the gallows
and step into striped light
right here the water's too shallow
let's go out deep 'til it's just right
deep in the water the dogfish
the bark was as bad as the b***
and now we're all smellin' ocean-ish
'cause we got into a fish fight
runnin' with the devil
was the devil i meant
diggin with the shovel
'til the shovel got bent
spellin' with the letters
in the letter i sent
diggin' all day
didn't make a dent
seller door
not much more
underground and hotter
battering ram
buried in the sand
better not to bother
and step into striped light
