Alarm, Alarm!
My fears go arm in arm.
To the army at war with love
And one day the hero,
and one day the foe.
Forgiveness tied in yellow round the old oak tree.
Turning and take disbelief.
Turning into stone.
While the century retreats,
to the memory repeated in a futuristic world.
I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage.
Like hunger.
Like a lesson

Like this must be obsession.
There was a flicker in the overhanging night And all the life I’d hidden
Seven maids a milking in a dream of white Trees on the back of the fires’ poison light
I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage.
Like hunger.
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession.
Upon my face a smile
Just a trace, all the while
Thoughts of wasteful waters flow
Alarm! Alarm! My fears go on and on and on and on.
