You open your eyes and the struggle begins
Going 'round to the voodoo dolls and pulling out pins
Sucking on a lemon, feeling the chill
You're morphing in from nowhere's-ville
Thinking of luck and love, moving ahead
To a world that's alive in the words we said
Something's coming, I don't know when
Something's coming, I know we'll never be the same again
Hear the telephone scream and the doorbell's cry
Doctors gave you the warning, how much time?
Kids asleep in their little bunks next room
You're up in the kitchen now trying to find the tune
Pulling the strings, bending the sound
Riding the ropes but you ain't going down
Something's coming, don't know when
You know something's coming, you'll never be the same again
Something's coming, don't know when
You know something's coming, you'll never be the same again
There ain't no money, you're up on blocks
You won't be bottled, riddled, curfewed or boxed
'Fore the rain starts falling you're gonna set sail
So you're out there late with a hammer and nails
Already suffered, already cried
It's too late to kill me 'cause I already died
Living off your wits, don't know where it's bound
Thirsty sons of that old cat around
Some are hurt, some are proud
Some play dead, some just play loud
It's a struggle for freedom, well, what can I say?
There's plenty of work but the work don't pay
How you gonna live when the money runs out?
You still got them looking up and out
You do your best and you just survive
Living here with all those bees buzzing 'round your hive
Something's coming, I don't know when
Well you know something's coming, you just don't know when
You open your eyes and the struggle begins
Going 'round to the voodoo dolls and pulling out pins
Sucking on a lemon, feeling the chill
You're morphing in from nowhere's-ville
Thinking of luck and love, lucky in the head
To a world that's alive in the words we said
Something's coming
Something's coming
