Jack Johnson Holes To Heaven (album Version) Lyrics

Holes To Heaven (album Version) Lyrics

the air was more than human
and the heat was more than hungry
and the cars
were square and spitting diesel fumes

the bulls were running
wild
because they're big and mean and sacred
and the children were
playing cricket with no shoes

the next morning we woke up man, with a 7
hour drive
well there we were stuck in Port Blair
where boats break and
children stare

(chorus)
there were so many fewer questions
when
stars were still just the holes to heaven
mhmm (x2)

disembarking from
the port 
with no mistakes of any sort
moving southly engine running
smooth

officials were quite friendly
once we drowned them with our
sweet talk
and we bribe them with our cigarettes and booze

the next
morning we woke up man, with the sunrise to the right
moving back north to
Port Blair
where boats break and children stare

(chorus)
