This is a song that Marc came up with about working in a coal mine.
lyrics
Down Down Down in the ground
They dig and scratch and pry and pound
In the the bowels of the earth can be found that brimstone
Dragon's bones
Down in the dark place
They went in through the rock face
Seeking coal in a tight space breathing poison air
Way down there
In that big black hole
Deep in a coal mine, sledge hammers ring
In that big black hole
There is no sunshine, light is what you bring
In that big black hole
If you live by the shovel, boy you might die by the dust
And if your body doesn't bust
Well then contemplate canary's fate
In that big black hole
Black lung black face
You're just a hard hat hard case
In that deep hot dark place
Where there is no sky, you just might die
In that big black hole
Down in a coal mine, blasting deep within
In that big black hole
Pray for a lifeline, tunnels caving in
In that big black hole
Deep in a coal mine, sledge hammers ring
In that big black hole
There is no sunshine, light is what you bring
In that big black hole
In that big black hole
In that big black hole
In that big black hole
