[Verse 1] The sky is falling, and the chickens come home to roost The writing’s on the wall, and the jig is up Every dog has its day, then the wolf’s at the door A house of cards, built on a house of lies Caught between a rock and a hard place The bottom fell out, and the wheels came off You can’t have your cake and eat it too The last straw, and the last laugh All roads lead to Rome, then Rome burns down Bite the bullet, if the bullet bites back [Pre-Chorus] Kiss it goodbye, and brace for impact The ship has sailed, now the flood comes in A stitch in time, but the time is gone Out of the frying pan, into the fire [Chorus] When hell freezes over When hell freezes over You can ring the bell, but the diner’s still dark, nobody’s coming When hell freezes over When hell freezes over Same old lie, same old line, same old coming apart [Verse 2] Beggars can’t be choosers, but kings can choke The chickens come home to roost, right on cue The apple of your eye, turning rotten in hand The glory days are over, gone with the wind The more things change, the more they fall apart A few fries short of a happy meal A fine kettle of fish, boiling over fast The powers that be, with their heads in the sand You can lead a horse to water, then watch it drown A long shot, and the long game’s lost [Pre-Chorus] The house always wins, and the deck is stacked Burning bridges while the bridges burn A can of worms, opened wide The devil you know, on the front porch now [Chorus] When hell freezes over When hell freezes over You can ring the bell, but nobody’s coming When hell freezes over When hell freezes over Same old lie, same old line, same old coming apart [Bridge] Barking up the wrong tree, while the roof caves in A storm in a teacup, then the teacup cracks The worm has turned, and the wheel comes full circle What goes around comes around, wearing black [Final Chorus] When hell freezes over When hell freezes over You can ring the bell, but nobody’s coming When hell freezes over When hell freezes over Same old lie, same old line, same old coming apart
