I got a picture of a photograph
Of a wedding in a shell
It's just a burning ancient memory
I never kiss and tell

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

Does anybody know
How the story really goes?
How the story really goes?
Or do we all just hum along?

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

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

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

Does anybody know
How the story really goes?
How the story really goes?
Or do we all just hum along?

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

Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away boys

Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away boys

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

Does anybody know
How the story really goes?
How the story really goes?
Or do we all just hum along?

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

Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away boys

Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away boys

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?
