The Hole In Your Roof
Augie March

What do the men say

To the women when they lay down at night.

All naked of arms from the old imagined fight?


And how do the women hear?

In kind and in likeness of light

In kindness you needn't and neither do I

We are both of us capable of flight


And as if to give proof

She jumped through the hole in the roof

What did the condemned say

To the blessed when they met on the path?


O you take the low road and I'll take the high for a laugh

(But if I'm laughing now it's because I've a gentle heart)

And because it was true

He slipped through the hole in the roof


La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

From above your head a thing can be read

that you're thinking

What the secretaries sing

And the CEO's bark in the bars


What do the dead say

To the ones who still think they're alive?

With your heads all on backwards

You can't see in front for what near behind you lies


Well, show us some help then

Above your head let it flicker the light

These ones that I'm with

Have not learned to forgive your necessary alibis


When they made you love money

And the poor prophet's stock

When they poisoned the watersheds

And fashioned our arrowheads

From the deep forbidden rock


O but did you see what people do?

And when you saw it you did it too

Now all your children are twice the size of you

And they come in at night through


The hole in your roof

The hole in your roof

The hole in your roof

The hole in your roof
