Text: Mike Doughty. Skittish / Rockity Roll. 40 Grand in the Hole.

40 grand in the hole
Scraping my dreams out of the sugar bowl
My love for you?s corrupt
Write down the words and then I snort them up

When will I love someone?
When will someone be mine?
40 grand in the hole
I?m gonna open it up and let my yearning shine

Hours that I have slept
Slumping down, down like a narcolept
Surrendering to joy
Standing in line at Teriyaki Boy

When will I love someone?
When will someone be mine?
40 grand in the hole
I?m gonna open it up and let my yearning shine

When will I hear the click?
When will I know that it is time to split?
What is the use of it?
What is my life without the heart at risk?

When will I love someone?
When will someone be mine?
40 grand in the hole
I?m gonna open it up and let my yearning shine
