Yeah, I've been feelin' kinda drippy
But it's not sweat, I'm sure of that
And I've not showered yet so maybe
The fault for my cold, wet back
Yeah, I've been thinkin', I've been wond'rin', high above is where it's comin' from
Look up and it's a sorry state

What I want's a new roof
Somethin' stronger's what I should use
Yeah, I'm thinkin' it might be a bit busted when I'm runnin' outta buckets
A long shot, true
Yeah, what I want's a new roof
Aw, what I want's a new roof

Patch it up, still it's bucketin' down, yeah, the holes remake themselves now, yeah
Each time they're much wider, wow, that's impressive stuff
Pick my jaw, yeah, off the ground, push past my sheer love of destruction
In real life, it's less funny

Will be costly, what I want's a new roof
Somethin' stronger's what I should use
Yeah, it's no longer "slightly", it's real munted, bare-bones structure, I don't love it
It's a flop, true
Yeah, what I want's a new roof
Aw, what I want's a new roof

Hey, I've been fixin' bit-by-bit with sheets of tarp
Aw, but I must be doin' somethin' wrong
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout this faded memory
Maybe that damn hurricane's aimin' for me

What I want's a new roof
Somethin' stronger's what I should use
Yeah, heard 'bout a Force Five strength wind or somethin', weather knowledge of mine's nothin'
Might be hard screwed
Yeah, what I want's a new roof (pack it up? Bit late for all that now, yeah, that hurricane's comin' down, yeah)
Aw, what I want's a new roof (all I can do's tie shit down 'til that bastard's gone)
Hate this part, yeah, wind whips 'round, knocks over my hundreds of buckets
I can't wait 'til it's sunny
And I receive what I want: a new roof
