Hole in the Ocean Floor Lyrics
I woke with a start
Crying bullets, beating heart
To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again
Not a cricket was creaking,
Or a floorboard was squeaking,
And all the world was snoring for show
There's a hole in the ocean floor
There's a hole in the ocean floor
Gonna stop bleeding alone
I woke with a start
Crying bullets, beating heart
To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again...
Crying bullets, beating heart
To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again
Or a floorboard was squeaking,
And all the world was snoring for show
There's a hole in the ocean floor
Gonna stop bleeding alone
Crying bullets, beating heart
To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again...

The lines about a hole in the ocean floor could be about an offshore oil spill.
In an Onion AV Club interview, he actually says it's inspired by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Or a floorboard was squeaking"
is a funny take on the oil spill
