Floating along, hippopotamus hunting,
The beast gets what he deserves.
Fall into bed with the daughters of Jezebel
And dream of Athenians.
There's a hole in the sky
The birds fly through
And I want to fly too,
And I want to fly too.
There's a hole in the sky
The birds fly through
And I want to fly too,
And I want to fly too, yeah.
Children get out, out of the buildings,
Get out of the buildings and into the fields.
Young faces turn to the sky as the planes appear;
Future is yesterday, yesterday's coming.
There's a hole in the sky
The birds fly through
And I want to fly too,
And I want to fly too.
There's a hole in the sky
The birds fly through
And I want to fly too,
Oh I want to fly too, ohh.
Everybody wants to be beautiful,
Everybody wants to be on their way home.
There's a hole in the sky
The birds fly through
And I want to fly too,
And I want to fly too, yeah.
There's a hole in the sky
The birds fly through
And I want to fly too,
Oh I want to fly too.
There's a hole in the sky, mmm
There's a hole in the sky
There's a hole in the sky, mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
