Digging in the Dirt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Something in me, dark and sticky
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long
[Refrain]
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't talk back, just drive the car
Shut your mouth, I know what you are
Don't say nothing keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around, this is for real
[Chorus]
Digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt
[Verse 2]
The more I look, the more I find
As I close on in, I get so blind
I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes
[Refrain]
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't talk back, just drive the car
Shut your mouth, I know what you are
Don't say nothing keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around, this is for real
[Chorus]
Digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt
I'm digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt
[Outro]
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt

I can’t remember the name of the book, but I think it’s something like ‘Why We Kill People’ but it was a sort of psychological study of murderers and ‘Digging in the Dirt’ was the result of that. It was partly that, but also what is it that gets us to that place?
