[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

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
