[VERSE 1]
Woman, oh woman
Come away now
From your window
In the pontoon boat
Woman, oh woman
With your roof gone
And your folks dead
You know you gotta let go
You know you must let go

[Chorus]
Five days, five nights
Through the bodies, and baked in sunlight
We just glide and try to stay alive
Five days, five nights
So hungry for the fight
We just glide and try to stay alive

[VERSE 2]
Woman, oh woman
With no gas left for the engine
Now it's time to row
Woman, oh woman
Crying gently with your head turned
I kissed your cracked lips slow
Above the streets below
[Chorus]
Five days, five nights
Through the darkness and baked in sunlight
We just glide and try to stay alive
Five days, five nights
So hard not to cry
We just glide and try to stay alive

[VERSE 3]
There were great granite mausoleums
Draped in kelp
Poking out the top of brown water
We rowed with a broom
And a clip board duct-taped to a Louisville slugger
We picked up two small children with swollen bellies
And a fox-hound that must've been swimming for days
And we drifted towards the city eyes
All the small towns were washed away

[Chorus]
Five days, five nights
Through the darkness, and baked in sunlight
Just glide and try to stay alive
Five days, five nights
So hungry for the fight
We just glide and try to stay alive
We try to stay alive
We try to stay alive
We try to stay alive
We try to stay alive
