Here's To The Atomb Bomb (new wave)

clung to the sweater from the day you were born
never knew better, that's what you swore
mother hugged you cause the walls were thin
in saturnine, sweetness, and ratio din

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 sleep
now watch your man as he sinks beneath
you cut out his heart and watch him die
that 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 son
amd kisses and noise
now you belong to them all

awake to the dawn and scratch your eyes
alight 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 who 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
