[Intro]
Can you dig it?
[Break]
Dig it!
[Instrumental]
[Break]
[Verse 1]
We built a tunnel under the ground
Where darkness reigns and echoes sound
A path unseen, a hidden way
To navigate through night and day
[Break]
Can you dig it?
[Break]
Dig it!
[Chorus]
Tunnel under, tunnel deep
Where secrets hide and shadows creep
A passage carved beneath the earth
To find our way, to find our worth
A new birth
[Verse 2]
Through caverns vast and tunnels narrow
We journey on, no fear to harrow
The unknown depths, the silent halls
Where echoes linger, voices call
After the fall
[Break]
Can you dig it?
[Break]
Dig it!
[Chorus]
Tunnel under, tunnel deep
Where secrets hide and shadows creep
A passage carved beneath the earth
To find our way, to find our worth
A new birth
[Bridge]
In the darkness, we find our light
Guided by hope, through the endless night
With each step forward, we break new ground
In the tunnel under, where knew dreams are found
[Break]
Can you dig it?
[Break]
Dig it!
[Chorus]
Tunnel under, tunnel deep
Where secrets hide and shadows creep
A passage carved beneath the earth
To find our way, to find our worth
A new birth
[Outro]
No use crying, no use to moan, let us roam
Through the tunnel under, we find our home
[End]
[Silence]
WHY?
* Our climate model employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels.
All of my life I have located my office and bedrooms in the uppermost southern exposure (preferably in the tree canopy.) I love sunlight, elevation, trees, fresh air, and wildlife. It is becoming ever more obvious my dreamlife is coming to an end, and I will be forced to tunnel under. For those forward thinkers, think about your poop. Pumping sewage above ground level will be a major problem at all times. In addition, the inability to pump flood water will become deadly during extreme weather events. In July of 2020 NPR reported, “The remnants of Hurricane Ida dropped unprecedented rainfall on several eastern states, killing dozens of people. Eleven of them were Queens residents who died when their basement apartments flooded.” In August of 2022 CNN reported, “Seoul has vowed to move some of the city’s poorest families out of underground and semi-subterranean homes after 13 people were killed in flooding caused by record rainfall this week, sparking public horror and calls for government accountability.” Drowning in your own poop may result for those unprepared.
