the ground has opened up
and there's so deep a hole
it's bottom can't be found

and makes quiet sea sounds

and linger at the edge
we like to dare each other
how close that we can get
and there's a pact we have

a letter came the other day
from clear around the globe
it said:
we hope that you're the ones
on the other end of the hole
could you take a few things back?
our country is getting full
