[Verse 1]
Hey, baby, where did you go
When the down down got too much?
Hey baby, where will you be found
When the down down gets too much?
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins, they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the end

[Verse 2]
Hey, baby, where will you be
When the crack, crack gets too much (Crack)
Hey baby, where will you go
When the crack, crack gets too much
Oh, we were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins, they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the end
Yeah yeah

[Chorus]
There's a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh, a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall

[Bridge]
(She has, under our expert persuasion)
(Has implicated you in high treason)
(You are under arrest)
(Do you have any final requests, requests?)
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
To take you through
To take you through
(You have until the sand runs up)
(Do you have any final requests?)
(You look great, you look great)
(You look great)
Whoo!

[Verse 3]
Hey, babe, where will you go when that hole in
The wall is shut?
Woah, babe, you know where I'll be when that
Hole in wall is shut
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins, they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the end

[Chorus]
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh, a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Catch it before you fall
The hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh, a hole in the wall

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
