Lyrics   status: confirmed

Leaky lifeboat
Sleeps offshore
It was sailing backwards
To the freaky north

My brother the wind he's got to know
Got to get it together and blow

Slipping sideways
Get it straight
The siren sonars
Are tempting fate

Fate's in a pleasant mood today
Don't get around much but hey
I gotta say
Sun's gotta play

La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Leaky lifeboat
Called to shore
You got another
Chance to score

My brother the wind he's got to know
Gotta get it together and blow
Before the sun gets cold
Cold to gold

La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
