[Album Version]

Your big face
Is such a shrine
It tastes like water
But I'm drunk

Your big face
Is such a crime
It tastes like water
But I'm drunk

['82/'83 DemoVersion]

The burrow, the burrow, the burrow, the burrow
The burrow, the burrow, the burrow, the burrow
The burrow, the burrow, the burrow, the burrow

Do you walk on water?
Do they like you that much?
I'm not walking next to you, my head is in a crutch
What you look at here is just exactly what it seems
You've got Tumo's hair
I think I found out what it means

Your big face
Is such a shrine
It tastes like water (take a dip)
But I'm drunk

You look at it
Say that's the way it is
Then you look at it
Say that's the way it's supposed to be

Your big face
Is such a crime
It tastes like water (take a sip)
But I'm drunk


The burrow, the burrow, the burrow, the burrow
The burrow, the burrow, the burrow, the burrow
The burrow, the burrow, the burrow, the burrow

One plus one plus one plus one plus one
Three plus three plus three plus three plus three

I can't be here in my room
I can't be here in my room
I'm alone in my room
Haven't haven't driven I
I I haven't driven on ice
To my guitar I must play good
My guitar I must play good, strings
