the dan emery mystery band - salt mine lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m going down to the great salt mine
i’m going down there to get some salt
it’s hot, hard work, working in the salt mine
i sweat a lot, so i need a lotta salt

[pre+chorus, non+lyrical vocals]
yeah, it’s hot, hard work working in the salt mine
i sweat a lot, so i need a lotta salt

[chorus]
and i’m tired of working in the salt mine
i’m tired, and i wish that things would change
i’m tired of this +metal screeching sounds+ salt mine
it’s no fun working in a slat mine when you
really wish you’d change
when you
really wish you’d change

[verse 2]
i went to a party with elegant life [?]
i stood against the wall, and i watched the whiny conversation flow
then a beautiful girl walked up to me, she had eyes like gems
i dunno how it happened, but the two of us started talking

[verse 3, non+lyrical vocals]
she said that she was an artist; she specialized in underwater installations
symbolizing the decline of humanity, and everything was made out of recycled plastic bags
i said “wow, that sounds really interesting”, and she asked me what i did
i looked down at my salting boots and i said “i++ i work in a salt mine”
“really?” she said, “no kidding? that’s amazing! my father used to work in a salt mine”
[chorus]
and i’m tired of working in the salt mine
i’m tired, and i wish that things would change
i’m tired of this +metal screeching sounds+ salt mine
it’s no fun working in a slat mine when you
really wish you’d change, like i do
when you
really wish you’d change

[interlude]
time went on, the way that it does
and me and this girl, we fell in love
so we moved in together into a beautiful little bas+m+nt apartment
in williamsburg, brooklyn
and every single night, i would lay there, wrapped up tight in her arms
and it felt so good to lay there, wrapped up tight in her arms
and every single night, i would lay there, wrapped up tight in her arms and in her legs
and it felt so good to lay there, wrapped up in her arms and her legs

[interlude cont.]
and every single morning
at about five o’clock in the morning
my alarm clock would go off +discordant piano+
i slapped it around a couple times, i’d get up, i take a shower, i get dressed
and get ready to leave for the day
and y’know, if it was one of those beautiful, wonderful, special lucky days
she would come and meet me at the door
in her beautiful little night thing
she would look up at me, with her beautiful eyes like gems, and she would say:
[bridge]
have fun in the salt mine today
have fun in the salt mine today!
i’m gonna miss you in the salt mine
baby, please don’t forget about me in the salt mine
gimme a call around lunchtime; we’ll decide what we’re gonna do tonight
then with the trace of her kiss still warm upon my lips, i would walk out the door and get onto the subway train and take it into the city
i climb out of the station, walk through the gates of the salt mine, grab my shovel and shout out at the morning sky

[chorus]
i’m tired of working in the salt mine
i’m tired, and i wish that things would change
i’m tired of this +metal screeching sounds+ salt mine
it’s no fun working in a slat mine when you
really wish you’d change, like i do
when you
really wish you’d change, like i do
when you
really wish you’d change

[outro]
tired of working in the salt mine
tired of working in the salt mine
tired of working in the salt mine
tired of working in the salt mine
tired of working in the salt mine
i really wish i’d change
