A Bad Sign

Now that we're alone;

Trouble, baby, doesn't always come in threes

I had a hunch the fight was thrown

But what's it going to take to get me to my knees?

It's a bad sign

When I'm just marking time

A bad sign

Hoping will be fine

A bad sign

When I think this way

It's a bad sign

Been staring at a wall for days

Can't hold a position I will not reverse

The paper prints a simple phrase

But all I see are ciphers in iambic verse

It's a bad sign

When I'm just marking timeâ€"

A bad sign

Hoping will be fine

A bad sign

When I think this way

It's a bad sign

I hear a far off sound

It's kinda like a battleground

Hey, something's going dangerously wrong

"Evacuate the premises

And take what you can carry" says

A voice that sounds an awful lot like it's for real

But it's not

It's a bad sign

When I'm just marking time

A bad sign

Hoping will be fine

A bad sign

When I think this way

It's a bad sign

When I'm just marking time

A bad sign

Hoping will be fine

A bad sign

When I think this way

It's a bad sign
