The Bottomless Hole - The Handsome Family

[00:06.81]My name, I don't remember
[00:09.56]Though I hail from Ohio
[00:13.54]I had a wife and children
[00:16.54]Good tires on my car
[00:22.04]What took me from my home
[00:25.16]And put me in the Earth
[00:30.85]Was the mouth of a deep dark hole
[00:33.72]I found behind my barn
[00:42.20]We'd been filling it with garbage
[00:46.12]As long as you could count
[00:49.89]Kitchen scraps and dead cows
[00:52.96]Tractors broken down
[00:58.09]But never did I hear one thing hit the ground
[01:06.94]And slowly I came to fear
[01:10.33]That this was a bottomless hole
[01:18.64]I went out behind the barn
[01:21.96]And stared down in that hole
[01:25.57]Late into the evening
[01:28.82]My mind would not let go
[01:33.84]So I got out my ropes and a rusty clawfoot tub
[01:42.24]And I rigged myself a chariot
[01:45.55]To ride down in that hole
[01:54.76]My wife, she did help me
[01:58.11]She fed me down the ropes
[02:01.85]And then I sank away
[02:05.17]From the surface of this world
[02:09.63]When the last rope pulled tight
[02:12.96]I had not reached the end
[02:17.96]And in anger, I swung there
[02:21.94]Down in that dark abyss
[02:27.14]So I got out my knife
[02:30.24]I told my wife goodbye
[02:35.56]I cut loose from the ropes
[02:38.87]And fell on down that hole
[02:43.57]And still I'm there falling
[02:47.37]Down in this evil pit
[02:52.34]But until I hit the bottom
[02:55.41]I won't believe it's bottomless
