[Verse 1]
It might be the first time, it might be the last time
It might be a straight line, it might be a stop sign
It might be a brick wall, or no surprise at all
Well, someone might take your shirt and run it up the flagpole
Someone might take your shoes and turn 'em in a black hole, oh yeah
And you might get lost when you're caught between the rock and the roll
[Chorus]
Oh, nobody knows what's gonna happen
No, nobody knows what's gonna happen
What's gonna happen next
After you've wound up your clocks
And your time has been told
[Verse 2]
Well, it might be yes ma'am, it might be no sir
It might be a place where you can't go, sir
Except on the afternoon when the moon turns blue
And the earth stands still and you keep on shakin'
It's the wildest ride you've ever taken
And the sky turns green and you don't know what to do
[Chorus]
Oh, nobody knows what's gonna happen
Nobody knows what's gonna happen
(Nobody knows) What's gonna happen next
When your prayers and your backsliding curses all come true
[Verse 3]
You know the outside has a way of gettin' in
And it can drive you crazy, make your head spin
On the back door shouting for more
Like a natural-born sinner in a house of sin
You can't trust a mirror as far as you can throw it
So your face might be a gargoyle the next time you show it
The next time you show it, it might be a gargoyle (Gargoyle, gargoyle)
But your eyes will be the same until they disappear into tears
And the sun might explode, the clouds might fall out
Fill the land with thunder, you hear a voice call out, oh yeah
April the 1st will follow October the 1st this year
[Chorus]
Oh, nobody knows what's gonna happen
Nobody knows what's gonna happen
(Nobody knows) What's gonna happen next
When you drive into Heaven without a rear-view mirror
Oh, no, nobody knows what's gonna happen
Nobody knows what's gonna happen
What's gonna happen next
[Verse 4]
Ah, drink a little "drink me," get your head unlocked
Smoke a little smoke, feel the laughter of the aftershock
Go bend the frames, go all the way to Hades
Kiss the flames then come back and kiss the ladies
Spin the bottle, spin the bottle, pin the tail on a goat boy
Spit out your name, say that it's Kilroy
Get rounded up with the usual suspects
Nobody knows what's gonna happen next
[Outro]
Oh, nobody knows what's gonna happen
Nobody knows what's gonna happen
What's gonna happen next
Nobody knows what's gonna happen
Nobody knows what's gonna happen
What's gonna happen next
