Hole in the Head

I was talking to a friend of mine
about how I’d lost my faith.
My bird of paradise
had gone and flown away.
He gave me some advice,
said I’m better off alone.
Was a blessing in disguise
that the bird had flown.
Cause I need a woman
like I need a hole in my head.
Walking 'cross a firing line, yeah
Everybody’s got their say.
To lead someone else’s life, well,
seems easier in a way.
Started thinking he might be right, yeah
I could make it on my own.
Soft music and candlelight
will pave the road to the Devil’s home.
Cause I need a woman
like I need a hole in my head.
Then I saw you baby, and you looked so fine.
Legs so long and lips that made me lose my mind.
And the more I thought about it, his words rang true.
Just like my friend said, I need another hole in my head.
Staring into space last night, yeah,
up to the evening sky.
A shooting star cast a light
that opened up my eyes.
I sat back and I cracked a smile,
cause then it all made sense:
A bitter man builds a wall
where a smart man climbs a fence.
Cause I need a woman
like I need a hole in my head.
Then I saw you baby, and you looked so fine.
Legs so long and lips that made me lose my mind.
And the more I thought about it, his words rang true.
Just like my friend said, I need another hole in my head.
