Get heavy on with digging your ditch

This is where you go if you piss off your brasilian girlfriend.
Witzy and I headed over to the Cemitério São João Batista located in neighborhood of Botafogo, adjacent to Copacabana. Some of the well known personalities interred here are; Tom Jobim, noted musician and composer who wrote “The Girl From Ipanema”, Carmen Miranda, film star from the 40’s, Ary Barroso, composer of popular Brasilian music, The Guinle Family, whose family fortunes date back to 1890 when the family patriarch received a 90 year concession to build and operate the port of Santos, they were also the original owners of the Copacabana Hotel. We keep telling people we went to the cemetery to check it out and they look at us like we have two heads. I found out later this place is ripe for muggings, however we deftly snuck in during the Rio de Janeiro championship soccer match. No self respecting mugger would be caught dead working during a soccer match.
Just goes to show you. No matter how much you got everyone still gets planted in the same ground.
Not sure. You think this guy was a fighter pilot?
Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit
Digging a ditch for when I’m through
Digging a ditch where silence lives

I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread. Now I stand accused of the things I've said.
