I don't want to throw away my time
  Playing games I don't respect or like
  I can't give away my sovereignty
  To existence with no song of me
    And the hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
    I built myself a beautiful brick wall
  Gets a little higher every day
  ? ignorance inhabits me
  Cause I've already chased my love away
    And the hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
    Take that happy banner off the wall
  I don't need to see no smiling face
  All I really want's a cup of tea
  To feel a warmth inside of me
    And the hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
    There's a hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm lowdown
  There's a hole in my heart
  I'm low
