[00:11.59]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]
