I was driving across the burning desert |
| [00:15.43] |
When I spotted six jet planes |
| [00:19.30] |
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain |
| [00:27.94] |
It was the hexagram of the heavens |
| [00:32.04] |
It was the strings of my guitar |
| [00:38.84] |
Amelia it was just a false alarm |
| [00:44.56] |
|
| [00:58.32] |
The drone of flying engines |
| [01:02.04] |
Is a song so wild and blue |
| [01:05.68] |
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets through to you |
| [01:14.04] |
Then your life becomes a travelogue |
| [01:19.61] |
Of picture post card charms |
| [01:24.21] |
Amelia it was just a false alarm |
| [01:29.85] |
|
| [01:45.07] |
People will tell you where they've gone |
| [01:48.98] |
They'll tell you where to go |
| [01:51.82] |
But till you get there yourself you never really know |
| [02:00.64] |
Where some have found their paradise |
| [02:04.92] |
Others just come to harm |
| [02:10.33] |
Oh, Amelia it was just a false alarm |
| [02:16.47] |
|
| [02:31.06] |
I wish that he was here tonight |
| [02:34.95] |
It's so hard to obey |
| [02:37.63] |
His sad request of me to kindly stay away |
| [02:46.71] |
So this is how I hide the hurt |
| [02:50.60] |
As the road leads cursed and charmed |
| [02:56.29] |
I tell Amelia it was just a false alarm |
| [03:02.07] |
|
| [03:16.38] |
A ghost of aviation |
| [03:20.14] |
She was swallowed by the sky |
| [03:23.61] |
Or by the sea like me she had a dream to fly |
| [03:32.22] |
Like Icarus ascending |
| [03:36.34] |
On beautiful foolish arms |
| [03:42.19] |
Amelia it was just a false alarm |
| [03:47.97] |
|
| [04:02.75] |
Maybe I've never really loved |
| [04:07.00] |
I guess that is the truth |
| [04:09.61] |
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitudes |
| [04:17.99] |
And looking down on everything |
| [04:22.25] |
I crashed into his arms |
| [04:28.30] |
Amelia it was just a false alarm |
| [04:32.91] |
|
| [04:47.87] |
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel |
| [04:52.21] |
To shower off the dust |
| [04:54.95] |
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust |
| [05:03.39] |
I dreamed of 747s |
| [05:07.76] |
Over geometric farms |
| [05:13.42] |
Dreams Amelia - dreams and false alarms |
| [05:19.26] |
