Grizzly Bear — Dig

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I dig all day and I don't get tired, I climb what I can't go round,
I'm a half a ton of "move along" just walkin' down the ground.
You want the berries, want the river, want the den that I dug deep?
Come and take 'em — but the strongest thing I do is sleep.

[Chorus]
Dig, dig — I just keep going —
through the dirt, through the winter, through the lean —
the strength ain't in the swiping,
it's the not-quit in between.

[Verse 2]
When the world runs out of dinner I don't panic, I lie down,
shut my body half-way off and let the snow come cover town.
Wake up hungry, wake up huge, and do it all again —
endurance wears a fur coat, and its other name is "when."

[Outro]
… keep diggin' …
