LYRICS
Verses:
1-I got a picture of a photograph
Of a wedding and a shell
It's just a burning ancient memory
I never kiss and tell
2-So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
There's a hole in your head
Where the birds can't sing along
Does anybody know how
The story really goes
How the story really goes
Well should we all just hum along?
Pre-Chorus-
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby is a crash crash crash
I wanna cry but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh laugh laugh
Verses:
3-Spin me up, spin me spin me out
Stay sure the station send me up and out
Is this what life and love is all about?
I think I think so
4-Used to see in color
Now it's only black and white
Yeah it's only black and white
'Cause the world is color blind
Repeat Pre-Chorus
Chorus--
Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away, boys
Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away, boys
Back to Verse 2
Back to Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Verse:
5-So tell me if they find
There's a hole in your head
A hole in your head
And the birds just sing along
Does anybody know how
The story really goes
The story really goes
Or we all just hum along
