False Alarm

Headlamps in an afternoon
Tell the story of an impending danger
Till we find out otherwise

It happened so often
You don’t know what to do
Headlamps in an afternoon

Somewhere else it could be winter
Fogs have to be broken through
Tell the story of an impending danger

Here we pray for false alarms to remain so
Even as the Americans left hastily
Till we find out otherwise

Till we find that an alarm cannot be false
The ring already impedes the mind
The brain cannot reverse its tell

Run and hide
The loud ring sounds
Till we find that an alarm cannot be false

Hearts in our mouth
Fire under our feet
The ring already impedes the mind

Alas! It is false but the heart,
The mind is in a frantic race
The brain cannot reverse its tell.
