Throwing Muses
Sinkhole
Well it's sundown in the sinkhole
It's sunrise up on the hill
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm
And they're keeping very still
It's summer in Winterhaven
And the earth, she's caving in
There's no water on the land
And it's all because of sin

Mae Rose Owens lost her bedroom
When the porches all fell in
Guy Laguarde kissed his yard goodbye
And it's all because of sin
No one must be told
About this thieving in the night
Satan stole the landscape
It was gone with the morning light

It's sundown in the sinkhole
It's sunrise up on the hill
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm
And they're keeping very still
It's summer in Winterhaven
And the earth, she's caving in
There's no water on the land
And it's all because of sin

Seven recreational vehicles were buried underground
Seven cranes went after them
Six could not be found
A Porsche and half a swimming pool
Are lost I am afeared
The seventh crane approached the hole
Then it disappeared

It's sundown in the sinkhole
It's sunrise up on the hill
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm
And they're keeping very still
It's summer in Winterhaven
And the earth, she's caving in
There's no water on the land
And it's all because of sin
St. Augustine in his slumber
Feels the depths of his own soul
St. Bernadette in her vision
Feels her body beyond control
The flowers of Narcissus
Are nailed to the underworld door
And Hades has the medicine
And he keeps down on the floor

It's sundown in the sinkhole
It's sunrise up on the hill
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm
And they're keeping very still
It's summer in Winterhaven
And the earth, she's caving in
There's no water on the land
And it's all because of sin
