Curious, I entered the passage On each side, crude holes in the wall served as both doorways and chimneys for the one-room homes inside Occasional damage! Occasional damage! Occasional damage! Occasional damage, yeah! Occasional damage! Occasional damage! Occasional damage! Occasional damage, yeah!

I felt myself being dragged into the light Occasional damage! Occasional damage! Occasional damage, yeah! Occasional damage! Occasional damage! Occasional damage, yeah! Occasional damage! Occasional damage! Occasional damage, yeah!
