[Verse 1]
Sometimes you gotta get up
Sometimes you gotta get down
Sometimes you gotta get rich
Sometimes you gotta be a big fish
(x2)

[Chorus]
Twelve days, lost days, no rest, all rain
No sun, no moon, twelve days, too soon
All here, too long, just one more song
Poor day, fine art, twelve days, full heart
And we stopped

[Instrumental]

Twelve days, lost days, no rest, all rain
No sun, no moon, twelve days, too soon
All here, too long, just one more song
Poor day, fine art, twelve days, full heart
And we stopped at something you will not forget (x3)
And we stopped
