Verse 1
She's a cruel queen, a restless dame
Even the dark lord would not speak her name
Every time a little different
So you cannot predict when she is coming home
Verse 2
To a home she won't recognize
And when you look in her eye you see it's falling from the skies
We are just borrowing, borrowing
We are just borrowing, borrowing
Chorus
To build our little empires
Pray we miss the brush fire
We are just borrowing, borrowing
We are just borrowing, borrowing
Verse 3
To build our little empires
Pray we miss the brush fire
Call in the clouds so that she can make it rain
Wash away your tiny castle
Verse 4
Don't you feel like an asshole?
With your big strong beams
Ripped out with such ease
Yeah you never saw it coming
Verse 5
But in hindsight that was dumb
Cause deep down, deep down
You know someday
Deep down, deep down
Verse 6
We all gon' pay out of the ground
She comes a rumbling, turning it up
Break up the ruckus, take the dirt back suckers
We are just borrowing, borrowing
Verse 7
We are just borrowing, borrowing
To build our little empires
Pray we miss the brush fire
We are just borrowing, borrowing
Verse 8
We are just borrowing, borrowing
To build our little empires
Pray we miss the brush fire
Oh, I know with some grace and a little luck
Verse 9
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Yeah, oh, I know we all wanna leave something behind
But she plays a patient game
We are just borrowing, borrowing
Verse 10
She's a cool queen, a restless dame
Even the dark lord would not speak her name
Every time a little different so you cannot predict
When she is coming home to a home she won't recognize
Verse 11
And when you look in her eye you see it's falling from the skies
We are just borrowing, borrowing
We are just borrowing, borrowing
To build our little empires
Verse 12
Pray we miss the brush fire
We are just borrowing, borrowing
We are just borrowing, borrowing
To build our little empires
Verse 13
Pray we miss the brush fire
Call in the clouds so that she can make it rain
Wash away your tiny castle
Don't you feel like an asshole?
Verse 14
With your big strong beams
Ripped out with such ease
Yeah, you never saw it coming
But in hindsight that was dumb
Verse 15
Cause deep down, deep down
You know someday
Deep down, deep down
We all gon' pay out of the ground
Verse 16
She comes a rumbling, turning it up
Break up the ruckus, take the dirt back suckers
We are just borrowing, borrowing
We are just borrowing, borrowing
Chorus
To build our little empires
Pray we miss the brush fire
We are just borrowing, borrowing
We are just borrowing, borrowing
Verse 17
To build our little empires
Pray we miss the brush fire
Oh, I know with some grace and a little luck
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Verse 18
Yeah, oh, I know we all wanna leave something behind
But she plays a patient game
We are just borrowing, borrowing
