[Refrain]
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
(I'd dig you)
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
(I'd dig you)
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
[Verse 1]
A long time ago, you took six months a walking
Talking on the other side
What started as an experiment turned into a heaven-sent
Message that saved your ass from dying
[Chorus]
Somebody said "In life there's always peaks and valleys"
And if you're lost they won't show you the way
That same somebody said "I'd dig you better dead"
But I'd much rather see if your God is what you say, say, say
[Verse 2]
And with the awesome power they struck
First they offered up the buck
Right in the middle, right in the middle they stuck (right in the middle)
A toke or two, what the fuck? (what the fuck?)
One minute you're hot
Tell the truth and you're not
That's the noose that they hang on a goose like you
[Chorus]
Somebody said "In life there's always peaks and valleys"
And if you're lost they won't show you the way
That same somebody said "I'd dig you better dead"
But I'd much rather see if your God is what you say, say, say
[Refrain]
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
[Verse 3]
And whatever you do, don't make somebody happy
Don't dress too freaky and make their daughters stare
Then you'll find out how deep the valley truly be
If you plan on catching the bus, you better have plenty fare
[Chorus]
Somebody said "In life there's always peaks and valleys"
And if you're lost they won't show you the way
That same somebody said "I'd dig you better dead"
But I'd much rather see if your God is what you say, say, say
[Refrain]
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
[Chorus]
Somebody said "In life there's always peaks and valleys"
And if you're lost they won't show you the way
That same somebody said "I'd dig you better dead"
But I'd much rather see if your God is what you say, say, say
[Refrain]
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
Dig you better dead, I'd dig you better dead
