Soul Mining Lyrics - Singles - The The

You're floating down a tunnel in a little wooden box 

You're cold and you're lonely and enveloped in fog 

You've been pried open and left here to die 

You should have trusted your instincts 'cause they don't tell lies 

Something always goes wrong when things are going right 

You swallowed your pride to quell the pain inside 

Someone captured your heart like a thief in the night 

And squeezed all the juice out until it ran dry 

You've been read like an open book, page by page 

You'll never tell anyone your inner thoughts again 

You were taken in by a heart of fools gold 

Now you're drifting in circles in the depths of your soul 

Something always goes wrong when things are going right 

You swallowed your pride to quell the pain inside 

Someone captured your heart like a thief in the night 

And squeezed all juice out until it ran dry
