{Verse riff}
Blood from a stone
Water from wine.
Born under earplay design.
A stroke of bad luck,
wrong place, wrong time.
This flyer is out of the lime.
D G Em
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D G Em
The story of my life in trying times.
D G Em
Just add water, stir in lime.
D A
How the west was won and where it got us.
{Verse riff}
Canary got trapped, the uranium mine.
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died.
a marker to mark where my tears run dry.
I cross it, bless it, alkali.
D G Em
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D G Em
The story of my life in trying times.
D G Em
Just add water, stir in lime.
D A
How the west was won and where it got us.
{Piano solo}
{Verse riff}
I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain.
Now I can't see anything.
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design.
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry.
I point my nose to the northern star,
watch the decline from a hazy distance.
D G Em
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D G Em
The story of my life in trying times.
D G Em
Just add water, stir in lime.
D A
How the west was won and where it got us.
