There's a hole in the roof, and the rain's comin' down,
The roads are all flooded, there's no way back to town,
And this ship we came in on, has just run aground,
You know fate has a funny way of comin' around
The memories we've buried, have now taken seed,
When spring time comes they'll turn into weeds,
And they'll creep through your window to smother your dreams,
you know fate has a funny way of comin' around
Oh they'll carve our names like scripture,
To the souls of their feet,
Every footprint that they take,
It will tell of our deed,
Drowning lies, oh they're following me,
Till the flow tide comes, to swallow,
the beach,
This bottle of bourbon's now dry as a bone,
It drank us all up and then it left us alone,
Well we sense whats to come, but we can't choke it down,
you know fate has a funny way of coming around
The roads are all flooded, there's no way back to town,
And this ship we came in on, has just run aground,
You know fate has a funny way of comin' around
When spring time comes they'll turn into weeds,
And they'll creep through your window to smother your dreams,
you know fate has a funny way of comin' around
To the souls of their feet,
Every footprint that they take,
It will tell of our deed,
Till the flow tide comes, to swallow,
the beach,
It drank us all up and then it left us alone,
Well we sense whats to come, but we can't choke it down,
you know fate has a funny way of coming around

These lyrics are a bit off, most notably it should be:
"A trail of madness, oh they'll follow and read til the flow tide comes to swallow the beach."
and
"Well we have since switched to Skull Pot, But we can't choke it down."
This makes me think of the approach of death as our lives are dwindling down in our twilight years. it's a scary concept that the young generally avoid thinking about. the beach being swallowed is like death.
this whole album seems like a pessimist's perspective on life, and its significance, or lack-there-of.
favorite dr. dog song, ya can just feel it, such a sick riff
