So you believe that certain things are free
the rain that falls into the blue green sea
But you must beware of a hidden price
cause things are seldom either black or white
everything you do has a price to pay
either now or later it's the American way
So ante up before you take the dive
And tell me little darlin, do you like to satisfy?

Better build your boat before the flood
and cover your knees if your on the rug
cause life is short and strange so sweet
an I'm beggin with you baby, take me to your honey tree

Just like the kid with the nose that grows
the life you lead is like a rubber hose
what goes in must come out
and it's even better if you scream and shout

Better build your boat before the flood
and cover your knees if your on the rug
cause life is short and strange so sweet
an I'm beggin with you baby, take me to your honey tree
