"False Alarm" lyrics - THE HEAD AND THE HEART
Visions of you dance through my head
Dark Heroine of the books I have read
Pages torn out, I made up my own world
Deep in the dream, it's all built to last
You'll pull the plug, drain me down fast
Pop my balloon, I fell from a great high
[Chorus 1:]
And I'm tired of wasting life
Searching out, going round
What became such a false alarm
'Cause I'm looking for the truth
Not some tired, cheap cliche
False treasure in a shallow pond, alright
Fireworks blew out the top of your head
Powder and spark drew me to bed
Drift with you there down a dark and frozen stream
I thought I'd found Jewel of the Nile
You're just a shiny rock in my pile
So many stones, stuck in my shoes
[Chorus 2:]
And I know if there's enough
It could make up a road
That could lead me far from this town
'Cause I'm looking for the truth
Not some tired, cheap cliche
False treasure in a shallow pond
[Outro:]
And I'm tired of wasting life
Searching out, going round
What became such false alarm
Just a false alarm
Just a false alarm
Just a false alarm...
