Lyrics
0:11I was driving across the burning desert
0:15When I spotted six jet planes
0:19Leaving six white
0:21Vapor trails across
0:24The bleak terrain
0:27It was the hexagram of the heavens
0:31It was the strings of my guitar
0:38Amelia
0:40It was just a false alarm
0:58The drone of flying engines
1:01Is a song so wild and blue
1:05It scrambles time
1:07And seasons if it gets thru to you
1:13Then your life becomes a travelogue
1:19Of picture post card charms
1:24Oh Amelia
1:26It was just a false alarm
1:44People will tell you where they've gone
1:48They'll tell you where to go
1:51But 'till you get there
1:53Yourself
1:55You never really know
2:00Where some have found their paradise
2:04Other's just come to harm
2:10Oh Amelia
2:12It was just a false alarm
2:31I wish that he was here tonight
2:34It's so hard to obey
2:37His sad request
2:39Of me
2:41To kindly stay away
2:46So this is how I hide the hurt
2:50As the road leads cursed and charmed
2:56I tell Amelia
2:59It was just a false alarm
3:16A ghost of aviation
3:20She was swallowed by the sky
3:23Or by the sea
3:25Like me she had a dream to fly
3:32Like icarus ascending
3:36On beautiful foolish arms
3:42Amelia
3:45It was just a false alarm
4:02Maybe I've never really loved
4:06I guess that is the truth
4:09I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
4:17And looking down on everything
4:22I crashed into his arms
4:28Amelia
4:30It was just a false alarm
4:47I pulled into the cactus tree motel
4:52To shower off the dust
4:54And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
5:03I dreamed of 7 4 7's
5:07Over geometric farms
5:13Dreams
5:14Amelia
5:16Dreams and false alarms
I was driving across the burning desert When I spotted six jet planes Leaving six white Vapor trails across The bleak terrain It was the hexagram of the heavens It was the strings of my guitar Amelia It was just a false alarm The drone of flying engines Is a song so wild and blue It scrambles time And seasons if it gets thru to you Then your life becomes a travelogue Of picture post card charms Oh Amelia It was just a false alarm People will tell you where they've gone They'll tell you where to go But 'till you get there Yourself You never really know Where some have found their paradise Other's just come to harm Oh Amelia It was just a false alarm I wish that he was here tonight It's so hard to obey His sad request Of me To kindly stay away So this is how I hide the hurt As the road leads cursed and charmed I tell Amelia It was just a false alarm A ghost of aviation She was swallowed by the sky Or by the sea Like me she had a dream to fly Like icarus ascending On beautiful foolish arms Amelia It was just a false alarm Maybe I've never really loved I guess that is the truth I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude And looking down on everything I crashed into his arms Amelia It was just a false alarm I pulled into the cactus tree motel To shower off the dust And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust I dreamed of 7 4 7's Over geometric farms Dreams Amelia Dreams and false alarms
