Alarms in the Heart

Our dialogue ended before I intended
I had to let go
But I hope you’re well
I see you around the neighborhood
It’s just so hard to know
Such overexacting and delicate acting
I never know why
Is it peace of mind
Maybe all that I need
Is that you’d be straight with me tonight
Half the town are underground
And half are halfway there
And we’re the only good ones left
If there’s a tremor in earth, love
A ripple in the water
Come back to haunt you
Keeping you awake
I heard it before now
But we don’t listen very much
To alarms in the heart, love
The spiritual fabric is sex and it’s magic
It’s carnival hell
But I tell myself
It’s the end of the world and it
Makes no difference to me now
Half the town are underground
And half are halfway there
And we’re the only good ones left
Always I’ll be down and out
And you’ll be in the clear
It’s just the way it is, I guess
If there’s a tremor in earth, love
Something in the water
Come back to haunt you
And you lie awake
I heard it before now
But we don’t listen very much
To alarms in the heart, love
If there’s a tremor in earth, love
A ripple in the water
Come back to haunt you
Keeping you awake
I heard it before now
But we don’t listen very much
To alarms in the heart, love
Okay
