Lyrics
______________________________________________________________________

(GUITAR INTRO)

the door is wide and the dogs are calling

can't keep it shut

the river's dry and the sky is falling

can't fill 'em up

ohhh, can't you feel it

the jig is up

ohhh, can't you see it

empty cup

your cover's blown and it's down to ashes

the fire is out

cut to the bone like a hundred lashes

you'll find it out

ohhh, can't you feel it

the jig is up

ohhh, can't you see it

empty cup

(GUITAR SOLO)

you hear a sound like a clap of thunder

lightning struck

you're going down and you're going under

you pushed your luck

ohhh, can't you feel it

the jig is up

ohhh, can't you see it

empty cup

the jig is up
