GOD-SHAPED HOLE


Lookin' for to save my, save my soul
Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow
Lookin' for to fill that God-shaped hole
Mother, mother-suckin' rock an' roll. MOFO

The ache in my heart 
Is so much a part of who I am. IRIS (HOLD ME CLOSE)


To every broken heart
For every heart that cries
Love left a window in the skies. WINDOW IN THE SKIES

I'm going out
I'm going outside mother...
I want you to be back tomorrow
I want you to be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow? 
TOMORROW

Mother, am I still your son?
You know I've waited for so long
To hear you say so
Mother, you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child, but no one tells me no. MOFO 

Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go
Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know
Hold me close, the darkness just lets us see, who we are
I’ve got your life inside of me. IRIS (HOLD ME CLOSE)    

Lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world
Lookin' for the father of my two little girls
Got the swing, got the sway, got my straw in lemonade
Still lookin' for the face I had before the world was made. MOFO

Oh I wish you were here
Oh I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here. STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND
