1822
In 1822
there lived a man that nobody knew
He spent his time down in the mine
Diamonds he might never find
Nor any precious stone
He didn't want to do what he was told
He didn't want to quit three feet from gold
So he spent the days in a craze
Chasing carrots in a maze
Until the floor fell through
In 1835
He spoke to his imaginary wife
He said "I wish I never worked so hard
Honey why'd I dig so far
And what have I to show"
It goes around and 'round
Just like the Ouroboros
Hear the word in every sound
Ah yeah
By the time he'd finally paid his dues
The old man was walking without shoes
Though he never lost his head
Even when he was left for dead
He said "Now I know the truth"
It goes around and 'round
Just like the Ouroboros
Hear the word in every sound
Ah yeah
End
