Hole In The Sky

get yourself a monkey wrench
cross the boarder,
go out past the edge of town
slip, slide on the salt flats
curse yourself if you think it helps
don't bother to wait for me when i'm gone
strip mined in the outback

cause i'm steppin off the ledge
jumpin out the window
fallin through a hole in the sky
i see the long hair down your back
braided up in corn row
you move your lips,
as if to say goodbye

now back down at the courthouse
it's like sittin up straight in church
sit blind in the dark
at the circus after hours
they're throwing knives
but nobody's gettin hurt
sit beside me,
just a little left of the mark

cause i'm steppin off the ledge
jumpin out the window
fallin through a hole in the sky
i see the long hair down your back
braided up in corn row
you move your lips,
as if to say goodbye
fallin through a hole in the sky

how much time you gonna waste
how much ink must be erased
before you see the things before you
how many times you gonna run
how many games must be begun
before you hear the one behind you
calling to remind you

as you're steppin off the ledge
jumpin out the window
fallin through a hole in the sky
i see the long hair down your back
braided up in corn row
you move your lips,
as if to say goodbye
fallin through a hole in the sky
