Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a picture of a photograph
Of a wedding and a shell
It's just a burning ancient memory
I never kiss and tell
[Verse 2]
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
There's a hole in your head
(Where the birds can't sing along)
[Verse 3]
Does anybody know
How the story really goes?
How the story really goes
Or do we all just hum along?
[Verse 4]
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna cry, but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
[Verse 5]
Spin me up, spin me, spin me out
Station to station, send me up and out
Is this what life and love is all about?
I think, I think so
[Verse 6]
We used to see in color
Now it's only black and white
Yeah, it's only black and white
('Cause the world is color blind)
[Verse 7]
Does anybody know
How the story really goes?
How the story really goes
Or do we all just hum along?
[Verse 8]
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna cry, but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
[Verse 9]
(Nothing's for free)
(Nothing's for free)
(Take it away, boys)
(Nothing's for free)
(Nothing's for free)
(Take it away, boys)
[Verse 10]
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
There's a hole in your head
(Where the birds can't sing along)
[Verse 11]
Does anybody know
How the story really goes?
How the story really goes
Or do we all just hum along?
[Verse 12]
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna cry, but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
[Verse 13]
Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away boys
Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away boys
[Verse 14]
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
A hole in your head
(Where the birds can't sing along)
Does anybody know
How the story really goes?
The story really goes
Or we all just hum along
