Lyrics

There's a difference between what I say to you and what I mean.
There's a difference between being a fool and keeping you guessing.
There is so much you'll never know unless I permit you.
There are walls of metal, brick, and steel, and stone that you gotta get through.

Oh but wait a moment now..hold on!

Keep on digging, keep on digging, baby, show me what you're made of
You gotta keep your head up everything is fine
Keep on going, keep on blowing up with that dynamite you're keep in your pocket
But please, don't stop it.

There's a difference between a game of checkers and a game of chess.
There's a difference between baking a cake and making a big mess.
There is still so much that I have to do before I admit you.
There is little time and much to comprehend before I can kiss you.

Oh but wait a moment more... don't shut that door!

Keep on digging, keep on digging, baby, show me what you're made of
You gotta keep your head up everything is fine
Keep on going, keep on blowing up with that dynamite you're keep in your pocket
But please, don't stop it.

Don't give up on what you started on
The ears your words are falling on are everything and anything but deaf.
So before you go and run and hide-believing you're still mystified,
Step back and just appreciate the whole impression that you make--the smile..
The smile that you been etching on my face--it's not a race

Keep on digging, keep on digging, and maybe I'll see what you're made of
You keep this up, I'll make you toe the line
Keep on going, keep on blowing up with that dynamite you're keep in your pocket
But please, don't stop it.
