[Verse 1]

You'll spend your life

Caught in my eye

You went up with the dust and knife, I won't tell

If you're heaven or hell

Or just a hole in the ground

[Chorus]

Oh, how there's nothing like a horrible night

To stay inside where it's warm

Oh, how there's nothing like a horrible fire

To remind you of what's worth saving

[Verse 2]

I hope

The hole in your boat

Helps you learn to float your way down the stream

Between you and me

Is what it oughta be

[Chorus]

Oh, how there's nothing like your death bed

To make amends with your brother

Oh, how there's nothing like a funeral

To paint all the family together
