Where madness lives
 I'm digging a ditch
 Where my silence lives
 I'm diggin a ditch and when I am through
 Digging this ditch I'll dig one for you
 Digging a ditch
 As black as cold
 Digging a ditch
 Where I can hide my soul
 Digging a ditch
 Where my secrets stay

 [The Newer Version, from Summer 2000]

 Unto your dreaming
 When you're alone
 Unplug the TV
 Turn off your phone
 Get heavy on with digging your ditch

 Cause I'm digging a ditch where madness gives
 Digging a ditch where silence lives
 Digging a ditch for when I'm old
 Digging a ditch where stories told
 Where all these troubles
 That weigh down on me will rise
 Unto your dreaming
 When you're alone
 Where all these worries
 Weigh heavy on my heart
 Will rise, will rise, will rise...

 Unto your dreaming
 When you're alone
 Unplug the TV
 Turn off your phone
 Get heavy on with digging your ditch

 Cause I'm diggin a ditch where madness gives
 Digging a ditch where silence lives
 Digging a ditch and when I'm through
 Digging this ditch I'll dig in for you
 Where all these disappointments
 That grow angry out of me will rise

 Unto your dremaing
 When you're alone
 Not what you're sure be or what you've become
 Just getting heavy on with digging your ditch

 Cause I'm digging a ditch where madness gives
 I'm digging a ditch where silence lives
 Digging a ditch and when I'm through
 Digging a ditch I'll give one you
 Where all these disappointments
 That grow angry out of me will rise

 Unto your dreaming
 When you're alone
 Where all these habits
 That weigh down on me will die
 Will die, will die, will die...

 Unto your dreaming
 When you're alone
 Unplug the TV
 Turn off your phone
 Get heavy on with digging your ditch
