Venice Is Sinking

Venice is sinking
The canary in the coal mine
Venice is sinking
Sun's hot, pay it no mind
Only happened once, 1966
Now it's once a year
This time it sticks
Floating through the town
Now boat's the only way
Headin' to the church now to pray
The virus is smiling
What's yours is mine too
The virus is smiling
Don't fret, it's only the flu
Every hundred years, 1918
How can we prepare
With those ignoring
Empty, silent towns
Now home's the only way
Head into the pillow now to pray
Where do we go
What do we think
Trouble is close
Can't sleep a wink
The streets are bleeding
Last breath echoed for weeks
The streets are bleeding
Who cares, he's just a thief
Happens all the time, 1963
Hound dogs and children's cries
This is liberty
Marching through the towns
Now it's the only way
Headin' to the grave now to pray
Venice is sinking
Where do we go
The virus is smiling
Trouble is close
The streets are bleeding
Can't sleep a wink
Venice is sinking
