The Handsome Family - The Bottomless Hole

My name, I don't remember Though I hail from Ohio I had a wife and children Good tires on my car What took me from my home And put me in the Earth Was the mouth of a deep dark hole I found behind my barn We'd been filling it with garbage As long as you could count Kitchen scraps and dead cows Tractors broken down But never did I hear one thing hit the ground And slowly I came to fear That this was a bottomless hole I went out behind the barn And stared down in that hole Late into the evening My mind would not let go So I got out my ropes and a rusty clawfoot tub And I rigged myself a chariot To ride down in that hole My wife, she did help me She fed me down the ropes And then I sank away From the surface of this world When the last rope pulled tight I had not reached the end And in anger, I swung there Down in that dark abyss So I got out my knife I told my wife goodbye I cut loose from the ropes And fell on down that hole And still I'm there falling Down in this evil pit But until I hit the bottom I won't believe it's bottomless
