Fire Drill
Muddy river in my mouth
All the birds were flying south
But it was summer, early fall and
Water flowing, over walls and
There was a current
In the middle of the street
I went to school but there were turtles
Swimming at my feet
I was lonely, never alone and
You were playing rings on your
New cell phone, and I
Thought I'd heard it all before
Alarm bells ringing, at your door
And I thought what's that for?
What's that all for?
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be real
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be
Homecoming dance
Came and went
Just couldn't match that
Right wing bent
And those Fritos expired
On your wedding day
And it wasn't so nice but
You just couldn't say
What you meant to
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be real
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be
Now the flames are
Coming up around ya
And there's sweat
Dripping down your face
All those pictures are melting
Off the walls now
But you decided you'd
Shelter in place
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be real
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be
It's just a fire drill
All the birds were flying south
But it was summer, early fall and
Water flowing, over walls and
There was a current
In the middle of the street
I went to school but there were turtles
Swimming at my feet
I was lonely, never alone and
You were playing rings on your
New cell phone, and I
Thought I'd heard it all before
Alarm bells ringing, at your door
And I thought what's that for?
What's that all for?
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be real
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be
Homecoming dance
Came and went
Just couldn't match that
Right wing bent
And those Fritos expired
On your wedding day
And it wasn't so nice but
You just couldn't say
What you meant to
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be real
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be
Now the flames are
Coming up around ya
And there's sweat
Dripping down your face
All those pictures are melting
Off the walls now
But you decided you'd
Shelter in place
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be real
It's just a fire drill
It just couldn't be
It's just a fire drill
