Soul Asylum - Sun Don't Shine Lyrics
Where the family kills each other for a place in the willUnderstand that he came a dirty old manThat holds a plastic rosary in the palm of his handAnd under the rug you will sweep (under the rug you will sweep)Secrets and promises that you can't keep (promises that you can't keep)The dam it will leak, it will weepSaid "I'd like to tell you how I feel", you said "You know that can't be real, it's much too deep"Why'd you wanna watch and wait, you can't walk on waterGet your feet on the groundThere's a hole in the floor, hole in the doorWhole wide world waiting to turn you aroundAnd under the rug you will sweep (and under the rug you will sweep)Secrets and promises you can't keep (promises that you can't keep)The dam it will leak, it will weepSaid "I'd like to tell you how I feel", you said "You know that can't be real, it's much too deep"Now how will you keep yourself busy?Take the trouble you're leaving behindAnd dig down deep where you do not belong thereShine a light where the sun doesn't shineSeven days, still no sign of daylightYour tunnel's collapsing from behindAnd how the hell did I get to AlaskaWill it shine, the light where the sun doesn't shine?
