Distant Early Warning

An ill wind comes arising
Across the cities of the plain
There's no swimming in the heavy water
No singing in the acid rain
Red alert, red alertIt's so hard to stay together
Passing through revolving doors
We need someone to talk to
And someone to sweep the floors
Incomplete, incompleteThe world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about youI know it makes no difference
To what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about youCruising under your radar
Watching from satellites
Take a page from the red book
And keep them in your sights
Red alert, red alertLeft and rights of passage
Black and whites of youth
Who can face the knowledge
That the truth is not the truth?
Obsolete, absoluteThe world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about youI know it makes no difference
To what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about youThe world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about youI know it makes no difference
To what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about youAbsalom
Absalom
