[Verso 1]
There is this old woman
She lives down the road
You can often find her
Kneeling inside of her hole
[Pre Coro 1]
And I often ask her
"Are you looking for the mother lode?"
Huh?
No
No, my child, this is not my desire
And then she said
[Coro]
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
[Verso 2]
There is this old man
Who spent so much of his life sleeping
That he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
He resides on a beach in a town
Where I am going to live
[Pre Coro 2]
And I often ask him
"Are you looking for the mother lode?"
Huh?
No
No, my child, this is not my desire
And then he said
[Coro]
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
