In the Lord we trust
We do what we think we must
We iron away the wrinkles
And we check our shoes for dust
Dot to dot
Pull the lever, fill the slot
One day we're gonna die here
Knowin' that we never took our shot
But sometimes in the middle of the night
I feel like throwin' off the bed sheets
And runnin' into the street
And singin' like a mad believer in a gospel choir
Oh, let's face it
The time's come to replace it
Baby, this lifeboat's on fire
No cool, no heat
Nothin' bitter, nothin' sweet
Just rollin' with the changes
We can't get off of the teat
The fuel is spent
We're happy just to pay the rent
Baby, it's gettin' awful easy
To keep askin' where the time went
But sometimes in the middle of the night
I feel like throwin' off the bed sheets
And runnin' into the street
And singin' like a mad believer in a gospel choir
Oh, let's face it
The time's come to replace it
Baby, this lifeboat's on fire
You gotta be pushed and pulled until you make a move
Dressed down, put out until you see
Oh Lord, you need pressure just to move
Throwin' off the bed sheets
And runnin' into the street
I'll be singin' like a mad believer in a gospel choir
Oh, let's face it
The time's come to replace it
Baby, this lifeboat's on fire
