The Alarm

[sound clip:
I hope you like these tunes that I've chosen to do for ya on these very wonderful v-discs. And I hope you get as much a kick outta hearing 'em as I do singing them for you.]

A hard fall on a rough path
Her body, her betrayer
She spoke as she fought back

"To lose is to lose
But I'll never die for you
Now I'm saved with
The flare, the spark, the alarm
We're not alone in this fight
There's no excuse for the trite
Not one."

Would they believe the things we've done?
It gives my sleepless nights a reason to be home
They're crying out
As they make their way down
In the midst of all this drowning
What will come of us?

Swing now hard
The reveille sounds
Was it worth it?

They set the fire with eyes so wide
A sudden sense of comfort
Washed over them at once
They're crying out
As they make their way down
In the midst of it what became?

Swing now hard

Oh Yeah!
God Damn!

With eyes so wide
Love is all there was
