BEHIND THE SONG: "Where do you go when you die? Big Blue Hole sounds pretty good to me." ~ David Olney

lyrics

Big Blue Hole written by David Olney and John Hadley (Red Lilly Music, ASCAP; Hadley Six Music, BMI)

Bag of bones
Bag of bones
I aint nothin' but
A bag of bones

Big blue hole
Big blue hole
Meet me down at
The big blue hole

Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe
Where'd she come from
And where'd she go?

James Dean
James Dean
He jumped out of
A movie screen

Big blue hole
Big blue hole
Landed in
A big blue hold

Ghengis Khan
Ghengis Khan
Headed out to
The great beyond

Cleopatra
Cleopatra
No one knows just
Where she's at

Big blue hole
Big blue hole
Everything goes
In the big blue hole

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
All them saints are
Dead and gone

Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain
They aint comin 'round here again

Big blue hole
Big blue hole
Heaven aint nothin' but a
Big blue hole

Bag of bones
Bag of bones
I aint nothin' but a
Bag of bones
