Smoke Alarm by The Soap Boxers Lyrics

Another day had got me down
'Til little Susie came around
I could see that I had a shot, so I took it away

Head over heels, I started fallin'
When I heard the sirens callin'
They got a lot to sing about, but not a thing to say


And as the conversation went south
It left a bad taste in my mouth
So I poured another shot to wash it down

But the place seemed all too quiet
So I started up a riot
I may not act much like a king, but I've got the crown


Well Susie and the boys came through
I dare say it was time I did, too
You know, the girl in the gang could take me just so far
Tired of being self-repressed
I thought I'd get some things off my chest
Just as soon as I got my head up off of the bar


This point you have to understand:
Things were not going quite like I planned
And I could see the boys have finally had enough

So we stumbled back to our post
All of us trying to make the most
Of another night that it called us on our bluff


Now I can promise you no less than
Biased memoirs of a mad man
I've no pride; I'm only here to make my testament

And as for now, it isn't much
I'm sure I'll still carry on and on and such
I always had the heart, but I suppose I lacked the sentiment


And without skipping a beat
It seems I was swept off my feet
(Yeah) I might not stand for much, but I stand corrected
Just then the smoke alarm went off
As I thought I heard somebody cough
When it occured to me that the two could be connected


Looked 'round the corner to inquire
Lo and behold, there was a fire
Was in that moment I first believe that I was cursed

And in my lap fell sweet conviction
Like a dream stranger than fiction
But I never thought that I would be so well rehearsed
