Dig for Fire by Pixies

There is this old woman
She lives down the road
You can'm often find her
Kneeling inside of her hole

And I often ask her
"Are you looking for the Mother Lode?"
"No, no my child, this is not my desire"
And then she said

I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire

There is this old man
Who spent so much of his life sleeping
That he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
He resides on a beach in a town where I am going to live

And I often ask him
"Are you looking for the Mother Lode?"
"No, no my child, this is not my desire"
And then he said

I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire

I'm digging for fire, fire, fire
I'm digging for fire
I'm digging for fire, for fire, for fire
I'm digging for, for fire
