Hole In The Wall
Billy Idol · Billy Idol [1982]
Hey baby, where will you be found
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
A black hole there where love was once the end
When the crack crack gets too much (crack)
Hey babe, where will you go
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh a hole in the wall
(She has under our expert persuasion)
(Has implicated you in high treason)
(Do you have any final requests, requests)
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
To take you through
(You have until the sand runs up)
(Do you have any final requests)
(You look great)
Hey babe where will you go when the hole in
Wow, babe you know where I'll be when that
hole in wall is shut
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
Ooh - a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
The hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
