When you gonna tell her all your secrets
When you gonna tell her what you did
When you gonna tell her where you keep it
And everything you do to keep it fed

If it ever comes to haunt you
How you gonna knock it on the head
If you led the horse to water
Tell me how it wound it up dead

Once upon a time it ran away
Once upon a time it hid
Once upon a time was long ago
Now all the lights are red

Everybody says you're gonna beat it
Everybody says you're gonna win
Everybody says you got the money
The devil's on the sidelines with a grin

Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea
The storm raging in your head that no one ever sees
Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea
That storm is going to claim you for eternity

Half the time you think you're gonna climb out
Half the time you know that you won't
Half the time you wanna scream out
Haven't got a clue how to cope

How do you think you're gonna quit it
When you can't miss a solitary lick
Do you really think that you could kill it

You better get yourself all cleaned up
You better get yourself a shill
You better make sure you're ready
Better update your will

Spoken like a man on the gallows
Spoken like a man in the chair
Spoken like a man at the bottom of a barrel
Someone cornered in his lair

Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea
The storm raging in your head that no one ever sees
Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea
That storm is going to claim you for eternity

All the pride and bitterness have made your life so dark
The world done you wrong left an ugly mark
Never would take advice walked your thorny path
Stewing in your juices building up your wrath
Does your momma wonder just where it all went wrong
When her precious birdy stopped singing out his song
Monkey screeching in your ear makes it hard to think
Sribble on the internet and stare while it blinks

Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea
The storm raging in your head that no one ever sees
Storm upon the ocean storm out on the sea
That storm is going to claim you for eternity
