Early Warning Lyrics by Rory Gallagher

Photo-Finish

0

Early warning came this morning
Hit me lower than the bottom rung
Feel a warning in a tail spin
Now I'm livin' on an iron lung

Near the doorway I saw a ghost play
A shadow talking where their mouth has been
These are strange days in every which way
And my head is in a downward spin

Helter-skelter in the shelter
Can't believe it, it can get no worse
See no tomorrow time to borrow
Now I'm waiting for the nuclear nurse

May the west win by an ill wind
Can't remember when I've seen the sun
Ain't no pity for my city
Well let me at you, no I've got to run

Who'll remember, that's what we're there for
And that's my election too
Heard a whisper from a dark stair
Cast no shadow, is that you?

Helter-skelter in the shelter
Can't believe it, it can get no worse

See no tomorrow time to borrow
Now I'm waiting on the nuclear nurse
Now I'm waiting on the nuclear nurse
Can't believe it, it can get no worse

Yeah...
