Watering hole in my head / Watering hole in my head / Watering hole, the hole
in my head / I stretched and I scratched and I pulled at that hole / that watering
hole in my head / in my head / in my head / But every night one by one / all of
the beasts I once ran from / crawl out of the darkness and into my bed / These
vultures of light they must be fed / in my head / in my head / in my head / in my
head / Watering hole in my head / all that I pray is one night’s rest / but those
creatures arrive with a thirst they want quenched / and as hard as I fight / they
still get in / to my head / to that watering hole / in my head…
in my head / I stretched and I scratched and I pulled at that hole / that watering
hole in my head / in my head / in my head / But every night one by one / all of
the beasts I once ran from / crawl out of the darkness and into my bed / These
vultures of light they must be fed / in my head / in my head / in my head / in my
head / Watering hole in my head / all that I pray is one night’s rest / but those
creatures arrive with a thirst they want quenched / and as hard as I fight / they
still get in / to my head / to that watering hole / in my head…
