Once upon a time, things started out
Everyone knows what'll happen now
One last friend to fear
One more fate to seal
Who's at the door? I don't recall the telephone ringing
What's in the bag? You don't picture me coming home, do you?
Quietly you stare at the ocean
Who knows what's brooding inside
Your shrewd plans are all set in motion
I gaze on, hardly surprised
Why run when everyone's cover's blown?
First the mud on your hands, then the bags by the road
Now there's the hole in the wall and the money you owe
To whom I don't know
Winter has come, frost's on the way
Everyone knows what'll happen now
