He's gonna burn up deep in texas

I'll freeze alone in new york city

We made the best of a disaster

And I pull my jacket closer.

I lit a candle for you in rome

I did the same in mexico

Oh, won't you tap me on the shoulder

When the scary scene is over.

I feel as guilty as jiminy

And like a piggy-headed yankee

But I did not see this wave coming

In time to wake you up

In time, in time to warn you of

In time, in time to pull you from it.
