Warning Lyrics by Pete Bernhard

Straight Line

0

Don't do too much before the show
There's so much no one needs to know
So many heavy hands to shake
Smiles flash fast, tend to be fake
And the lines of time in dressing rooms
Pills to ward off blacks and blues
Chances pass don't hesitate
A dripping tap becomes a lake
There watching close so don't make no mistakes

Just a warning to you, Emily
There are things here, they ain't what they seem
And you might want what used to be
Sometimes what you want, it ain't what you need

Everyone has some mouths to feed
Somе too close now to be seen
The firеs are doused with gasoline
The prices rise when the hungers mean
The highest strong, it leaves too fast
Seeming never to come back
It will return but not every night
Knowing what you're worth to make you write
It's not a ball so come prepared to fight

It's just my warning to you, Emily
There are things here, they ain't what they seem
You might want what used to be
Sometimes what you want, it ain't what you need

Strings on the dollars from every purse
What seems free now could be cursed
If you want to walk you must fall down
People talk but don't hear a sound
Whispers climbing ladders up
The ecstasy of a moments luck
Ships smashed built so carefully
And someday your eyes have to see
The thicker skin, the less you got to bleed

Just a warning to you, now from me
There are things here, they ain't what they seem
And you might want what used to be
Sometimes what you want, it ain't what you need
