lyrics

We were always teased when we were young
Now that I am older I don’t care
We never grew attached to anything
Anything we had would only stink
Grew up by the sinkhole near the park
Our house on the corner very dark

CHORUS
And we threw all that we had into the hole
And we threw all that we had into the hole
Father came too late to catch us all
And we threw all that we had into the hole

Used to have four siblings now I’ve just three
The eldest and the youngest in the middle me
I’d thrown down all our toys and said goodbye
Jason chased them down as he cried
We pretend to hear him knocking on the floor
Mum won’t talk about him any more

CHORUS

Do you hear those strange melodies
Almost audibly through the trees
Like whistling in the dark of little boys
Swallowed by the earth chasing toys
Our neighbour’s kids visited us as well
We dared them to sleigh ride down the hill

CHORUS
