It's coming down, babe
Could be as bad as they talked about
It's coming down, babe
Could be before we can make it out

But when they say that all is lost
All is not lost, all is not lost
But when they say that all is lost
All is not lost, no all is not lost at all

They could be right about it
They could be right in some crazy way
Cause if they yell fire, well that's what we get
Yeah they yell fire, and that's what we get
So, yeah it's coming babe
Probably bad as they talked about
But just remember: when the tide rolls in
It can't be too long until it rolls back out

And when they say that all is lost
All is not lost, all is not lost
And when they say that all is lost
All is not lost, no all is not lost at all

And if they burn
If they burn this place down to the ground
What does it matter?
What does it matter?

Cause when they say that all is lost
All is not lost, all is not lost
And when they say that all is lost
All is not lost, no, all is not lost, not lost at all
No, all is not lost, no, all is not lost at all
No, all is not lost, no, all is not lost, not lost at all
