Lyrics

<lyrics>She's gone And I'm gonna find her It's been so long Yeah I'm gonna find her She's gone away

When it goes away I'll dig a hole

Wasted and I'm out of patience It's been so long Yeah I'm out of patience She's gone away

Pain goes away I dig a hole

Runnin', goin' out at night Friends they push and pull you Burn out ground poor flowers Spinning falling outta time

When it goes away I'll dig a hole

La la la la, ooh I'll dig a hole La la la la, ooh When it goes away La la la la, ooh I dig a hole La la la la, ooh Pain goes away </lyrics>
