a heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.

i'll take a quiet life,
a handshake,
some carbon monoxide,
no alarms and no surprises.
no alarms and no surprises.
no alarms and no surprises.

you look so tired and happy,
bring down the government,
they don't,
they don't speak for us.

such a pretty house and such a pretty garden,
no alarms and no surprises.
no alarms and no surprises.
no alarms and no surprises.
