Hole in the Ground Lyrics by The Verlaines

Ready to Fly

1991

By the time you're out of the hole in the ground he made
The lines will be harder, the days will be longer to face
The pleasure boat's gone
And you wish you were on it
But he'd skin you alive for a trip round the bay
What are you gonna do now?
All he left was a broken heart
It's not much good to you now
And easy to see without looking too far
The price you pay to be charmed
Out of every ounce your love gone
I'll invite you as long as you're ablе to stay
Drink wine, get high as a kite on a windy day
Bе children with matches with no one to catch us
And spin a whole line that we're happy that way
What are you gonna do now?
All he left was a broken heart
It's not much good to you now
And easy to see without looking too far
The price you pay to be charmed
Out of every ounce your love gone
Easy to see without looking too far
All he left was a broken heart
What are you gonna do now?
You say, "I don't even desire to know your name."
You say, "I don't even desire to know your name."
Yell it into the air
Clench it into the teeth of fate
Say you don't even care
Dance as if you were on his grave:
I don't even desire to know your name
I don't even desire to know your name
