Alert!

Lyrics

Alert, alert, 'cos life's no dream... She sits around smoking Polish cigarettes Playing with her hair and taking bets On the date of the end of the world Stare up at the stars instead But light pollution's glowing red There's nothing, baby, nothing up there at all Stuck beneath the New York sky tonight Dig Lorca in the shadows kiss the hangman In the gallows of my mind I stared up at the harbour lights Watched an angel jump from Brooklyn Bridge last night Taking all of us, all of us, all of us down... Alert, alert, 'cos life's no dream Hudson-side, New York's a glowing mess Chain-smoke black market cigarettes In this dive bar on the edge of the world 7-Eleven stop, we sup this piss-weak beer from coffee cups There's nothing, baby, nothing in there at all Stuck beneath the Brooklyn sky tonight Dig Lorca in the shadows kiss the hangman In the gallows of your mind Alert, alert, 'cos life's no dream
