New York Mining Disaster 1980

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed
Thinking those who once existed must be dead
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones
Do you know what it's like on the outside
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones

Yesterday I saw a man at the fair with clown trousers and briefs
I talked to him, I pushed him down
I felt he was a better man than I
