The Gravedigger
(Meaux/Huval/Stevenson)
Features Meaux, Golden and Huval happily trading solos while the song's protagonist wrestles with the death of relationships, friendships, and an off-duty cadaver dog, all set to a latin Clave' beat. A lot going on in this one.
I'm shoveling mud in the moonlight
Fill up the hole in my chest
Where my soul used to be
I promised you my heart
And you made promises to me
We took a walk in the dark
Both pretending we could see
I'm shoveling mud in the moonlight
Fill up the hole in my chest
Where my soul used to be
I'm walking down my street
Trying to think who it was my friends used to be
Just poking along my street
Trying to see if I recognize
Anything important to me
Got my dog off the leash
I like to watch her bounce around a while
Got my dog off the leash
I like to watch her bounce and smile
She's got a job with the State Police
Helps them go that extra mile
She's got a job with the State Police
Helps hem look for bodies under piles
