[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
