| There's a hole in the roof | |
| And the rain's coming down | |
| The roads are flooded | |
| There's no way back to town | |
| And the ship we came in on | |
| Has just run aground | |
| You know fate has a funny way of coming around | |
| The memories we've buried | |
| Have just taken seed | |
| When springtime comes | |
| They'll turn into weeds | |
| And they'll creep through your window to smother your dreams | |
| You know fate has a funny way of coming around | |
| Oh, they'll carve our names like scripture to the soles of our feet | |
| Each footprint that they take it will tell of our beat | |
| Til the night of the following rain | |
| Til the low tide comes to swallow pain | |
| This bottle of bourbon, now dry as a bone, it drank us all up then it left us alone | |
| Well we've since switched to skull pot | |
| But we can't choke it down | |
| You know fate has a funny way of coming around |
