[Chorus]
Leaky lifeboat
Sleeps off shore
Now we're sailing backwards
To the freaky north
[Verse 1]
My brother the wind
He's got to know
We've got to get it together
And blow
Slipping sideways
Get it straight
The siren sonars
Are tempting fate
Fates in a pleasant mood today
I don't get around much, but hey
I got to say
The sun's got to play
[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Chorus]
Leaky lifeboat
Called to shore
You got another
Chance to score
[Verse 2]
My brother the wind
He's got to know
We've got to get it together
And blow
Before the sun gets cold
Cold to gold
[Outro]
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
