Pixies - Dig For Fire

Bossanova (1990)

[Verse 1]
There is this old woman
She lives down the road
You can often find her
Kneeling inside of her hole

[Pre-Chorus 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

[Chorus]
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire

[Verse 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-Chorus 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

[Chorus]
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire

For fire
