hole-in-head blues

well you're trying to stop living on the edge

and you're trying to make sure you get good and rich

and you dream of being a part of hollywood

'cause you know that to be famous is good

but there's a hole right inside of your head

and one day it'll make you fall down dead

now you're trying to keep on moving so straight

and you laugh at me with my chambermaid

'cause i guess you think we're wasting our time

just sitting around enjoying the sunshine

but there's a hole right inside of your head

and one day it'll make you fall down dead

now what can you show me? won't you k.o. me

cause i'm getting weary of hearing your theory

i'm dying to see what you're trying to be

but you don't even know it – they'll write it in your obit

i think it's clear the problem here's between your ears:

you got a hole inside of your head

and one day it'll make you fall down dead

well you got people telling you how to succeed

yeah and it's written in the books that you read

oh but i say you could throw that whole lot out

all you gotta do is do something about

that great big hole inside of your head

'cause one day it'll make you fall down dead

yeah you know you're gonna wind up dead

'cause of that hole - hole inside your head
