Here's To The Atom Bomb, Too

Clung to the sweater from the day you were born

Never knew better, that's what you swore

Mother heard you cause the walls were thin

In saturnine, sweetness, and horatio fin

No boy could spell you out

In the grass at night

Beneath the stars

You grew right past the streets where you were raised

Sneakin' out early to a secret place

Like a hole in the wall

Like a hole in the wall

Into the bed you hang your sling

To watch your man as he seeks relief

You cut out his heart and watch him die

So we can know you, and that you're alive

As the hole in the wall

You are the hole in the wall

No one can know your song

In kisses and noise

Now you belong to them all

Awake to the dawn and scratch your eyes

Light the prayer candles that you remind to

Send you a boy that you could waste

A little piece of heaven to set you straight

Through the hole in the wall

You are the hole in the wall

No one could tell you why

The tape's full of hiss

And sons that cry

To the night of the dead and the wishing ghost

Beating on you to drain morose

Through the hole in the wall

We are the holes in the wall

We are the
