Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

 I don't know a cave from a hole in the ground

 I wandered an age through a cool and dark cage

 Tried finding my way by touch, taste, sense, sound

 But no way out of hell, as the sin is on stage (1st time)

But I'm here and I hope I won't see old age (2nd)

But I figure the solitude's my only wage (3rd)

And long past the point of pretending to rage (Last)

Verse 1

 I wonder what happened up there to my truck

 Left parked with a load, no doubt long since been towed

I never expected to have such strange luck

I should have obeyed what that road sign forebode

Cavefish is delicious, but only if cooked

You'll mess it up bad, well let's leave it at that

I've eaten whenever, whatever I've hooked

I'd kill for the thrill of a meal with some fat

Chorus

Verse 2

I don't know my soul from a hole in the dark

I'd wake from my sleep and I'd silently weep

I once knew a girl who loved me as a lark

My pain, she explains, is what made me so deep

I thought I was ever so lonesome at home

It needled at me until I couldn't see

The forest for trees nor the sea for the foam

And I took up the job that was all absentee

Chorus

Verse 3

The miles and also the hours were strained

Kept my hands on the wheel, it was solid and real

And wind blew and snow fell and storms rumbled and rained

And I drove through it all but found I could still feel

Inspire me world, I was writing a song

Saw a sign for the cave, thought "artistic" and "brave"

I grabbed my guitar and I moseyed along

and though I hate to state it, I entered my grave

Chorus
