Deep Down Diggin It Lyrics

There's a woman keeps her husband on a spit
She just won't quit, she turns him endlessly
And her guy could say goodbye but there he sits
He just won't split from her rotisserie
Through the burning accusations on the glowing coals of shame
You can see that they are both fans of the flame

Deep down they're diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down they're diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down they're diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down they're diggin it  Deep down deep down

There's a guy who wonders why he can't get hitched
He's got an itch no one woman can scratch
Every time she thinks he's fine and buys his pitch
He finds a glitch, and then blows out the match
He's a vagabonded gyspy roaming far across the land
But he swears he loves the sound of wedding bands

Deep down he's diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down she's diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down they're diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down they're diggin it  Deep down deep down

How can we fight it?  Deep deep down
So much is decided    Deep deep down
But we must overide it Deep deep down

There's a sentry on an ancient battle line
He feels divine, he knows he fights for God
Over centuries his hate has been refined
Now it's designed to boil up in his blood
And he clings to all the stories of the crimes that went before
And curls up each night and suckles on the war

Deep down he's diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down they're diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down we're diggin it  Deep down deep down
Deep down we're diggin it  Deep down deep down
