The Answer Lyrics by Original LA Cast of The Black Suits

Original LA Cast of The Black Suits

[JOHN]
When a fire starts in the hull
How much time do you have
Before it spreads to the deck?
When a fire starts in the hull
How much time do you have
Before it spreads to the deck?
Minutes? Hours?
What time is it anyway?
How do you tell your family
That you wanna quit school
And just play with your band?
When a fire starts burning
How much time do you have
Before it burns itself out?
And why do I feel like I'm choking lately?
What am I doing here?
Why do I feel like I'm choking lately?
What am I looking for?
Maybe school, or maybe love
Or maybe none of the above
Is the answer
Maybe for once I'll really try
Or fuck it all and just get high
'Cause that's an answer
Maybe I'll practice my guitar
Or read a book or steal a car
And steal the answer
I'll get a job and get paid
Or get a girlfriend and get laid
And get the answer
I'll join the army, go to war
Give up my smoke
To smoke some more
I need an answer
Move to the village, shave my head
Wind up happy, wind up dead
Wind up in debt, wind up in love
Or maybe none of the above
Is the answer
Maybe it's ok that I don't have a plan
And I don't have a clue
I'm nineteen and that doesn't mean
That I should know exactly what I want to do, right?
I'm nineteen and that doesn't mean
That I should know what I want to do
I've got time to make mistakes
Make up my mind
I've got time enough to find out
All the answers
But I am scared and I'm afraid
That a decision won't get made
And I'll be like this forever
I need help, need extra help
To find the answers
What's the answer?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't
I don't know
When a fire starts in the hull
How much time do you have
Before it spreads to the deck?
Pencils down
Papers turned over
Time's up
