Lyrics

I'm goin' down
Won't you come along with me?
Don't you wanna dig with me tonight?
Down, we'll tunnel deep enough to turn
The sky into a tiny speck of light

Tonight gravity is my friend
Tonight down is my way home
I'm goin' to bone china
Don't you wanna drill with me
Down into the well of frozen time?
Way down, deep into the rocks to free
The soul of the dinosaur inside
To slide down into the night
To climb out to the other side
Goin' to bone china

While some kids dreamed
in western themes
of flyin' machines all saddled up
to ride the Martian range
I was busy diggin' up the flower bed
All the neighbors said: "That boy is strange"
But time, time was mine to kill
So now I'm somewhere back there still
Goin' to bone china
Don't you wanna dig with me tonight?
Down, we'll tunnel deep enough to turn
The sky into a tiny speck of light
Tonight gravity is my friend
Tonight down is my way home
Goin' to bone china
Goin to bone china...
