Goin' through the motions
Tryin' not to snore
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Rowin' in the ocean
Caught without an oar
Someone said they always floated
Time out, save the play
Try to make the line last
Any old way you can
Signed out, blown away
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan
The maids are in the hallway
Bangin' on the door
Askin' what the funny smell was
Wake you up and tell you
It's OK to sleep some more
By the way, is there any you can sell us?
So the case is gettin' hotter
Guilty till your tried
Stick 'em up, you've just been busted
Your basement's full of water
Forgot about the tide
Hope to God the pump ain't rusted
Signed out, blown away
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan
Time out, save the fray
Try to make the line last
Any old way you can
Tryin' not to snore
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Rowin' in the ocean
Caught without an oar
Someone said they always floated
Try to make the line last
Any old way you can
Signed out, blown away
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan
Bangin' on the door
Askin' what the funny smell was
Wake you up and tell you
It's OK to sleep some more
By the way, is there any you can sell us?
Guilty till your tried
Stick 'em up, you've just been busted
Your basement's full of water
Forgot about the tide
Hope to God the pump ain't rusted
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan
Time out, save the fray
Try to make the line last
Any old way you can

All over the web these lyrics are wrong. Somebody put them up wrong and they got copied and pasted everywhere. It is a more clever song if your have the words right:

@taterzpop Thank you thank you thank you! For the last 12/13 years I've been looking for the lyrics to this song and have always known they were wrong - they just didn't make sense. Thank you for getting it right - the second part of the first verse has bugged me for years.

@taterzpop Thanks for clarifying what is wrong all over the web. Well done.

This and "Welcome to the Club" are generally about grinning and bearing it when things suck. This one seems to be about trying to avoid getting caught when you know you're screwed--the line about "wake you up to tell you it's OK to sleep some more, by the way is there any you can sell is?" is naturally about drugs, likely marijuana.
