Glen Phillips - The Hole Lyrics
Behind the house
The ground has opened upAnd it's so deep, a holeIt's bottom can't be foundIt sucks the air insideAnd makes quiet sea soundsWe sometimes standAnd linger at the edgeWe like to dare each otherHow close that we can getAnd there's a pact we madeIf one should fall the other follows inStarted small with trash and rotten foodAnd then the neighbors cameWith cars and Davenports tooThen the governmentMidnight dumps of what we never knewA letter came the other dayFrom clear around the globeIt said, "We hope that you're the onesOn the other end of the holeCould you take a few things backOur country's getting full"Behind the houseThe ground has opened up
