In The Cave Lyrics - Jandek

All day long we knew we were playing with fire 

We could tell by the burn marks 

All day we was inside the cave 

We was playing with fire 

What else happened, we didn't know 

We paid 

We surely did pay 

I'm gonna get out of it 

By going into it more 

I'm gonna get out of it 

Yes I am 

And I'm gonna go into it more, too 

What have I got to lose? 

Not much 

I'm gonna get out of it 

By going into it more 

But I got my stopwatch 

I see time ticking 

I see the numbers change 

And then you get in the rhythm 

You get to know a Monday 

You get to know a Sunday 

And the water 

Yeah and the creaking grind 

All that black water 

Gets into your skin 

Makes you want to forget 

Some of those days 

But I'll meet you on a Sunday 

I'll meet you on a Tuesday 

I'll meet you any any any any any day 

But who wants to go down fast? 

I just want to stay alive 

We were into the cave 

Playin' with fire all day 

It cost a lot 

They took it real fast 

All of a sudden you turn around and say hey 

I need to exercise 

Hey, I need to stretch me
