the sirens are silent
but the beacons keep blinking
and the christmas lights are falling off the houses in the july heatwave
so wave goodbye and kiss the kids one last time
if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen
but i'm still perfecting this recipe
of (3 tbs.) heartbreak and (5 tsp.) disaster and (4 whole) tired old cliches
(take one and call me in the morning if you ever wake up)
there's just one last ingredient i need to finish this
call me a doctor and i'll make sure he gets his
but only after i get mine
reading in between the li(n)es
i just find lies and expiration dates
(take a number get in line and you might wake up)
the sirens have been silenced
but i'll be up all night
listen(ing) to the distance
search(ing) for a constant
just shut your mouth
don't make a sound
listen to the distance
search for a constant
it might come around
