about

foxhole

lyrics

hey mr. fox who let you out of your hole. your daughter has caught my eye and now she wont leave me alone. if you’re not quiet, they’ll catch you awake. the bride and groom are rotting on your wedding cake. the barn is burning and the forest is next. her heart is raging and it explodes in her chest. bring on a hard rain, bring on the flood for her poor mother’s wedding dress is covered in blood. they say we’re never going to feel it again, but well get it, well get it back. send the replacements and send her my best. sharpen the hook my dear, the bait will build us a nest with all the trimmings and what’s left of her veil. we bought the farm because it was on sale. they say we’re never going to feel it again, but we’ll get it, we’ll get it back. its been a long time to take it in, but we’ll get it, we’ll get it fixed. its been bought, its been paid for. so take all you can get if you’re going to get it in the end. in the foxhole. it’s the fortune you slave for. so stop slaving away if you’re going to get it for yourself. we slept the day just to hurry the night. they stopped the train so we hitched a ride back to the hole in the forest we found so I could die content underground. but I was just a dead ringer feeding her vice. they wouldn’t let me in, not without a price. so I came back to take her with me. they said if I brought her I could get in free. a blue ribbon today. a red letter tonight. a poor attempt to escape. a poor excuse for a bride. so take your pictures I’m sure that they’ll all end up in some box. and tie a noose around your cans and old mr. fox. so you’ve figured me out? what a pleasant surprise. I’m not as shown in the book, the book to which you subscribe. still I sleep in this hole until everyone can forgot that it was a crime to love her. a crime I didn’t commit.
