Alarm

lyrics

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling alarm bells ring

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling but no-one does a thing

No rush to the door
We’ve heard it all before
Another cry wolf conspiracy theory bore
Flat planet earth
Untrodden moon
Who hid the white elephant in the room?
What room?

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling alarm bells ring

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling but no-one lifts a finger

Oh of course you ought to know
That they they in the know
Pour out those theories like smoke
So they all seem the same hoax jokes
Screening the real sins
They carry on under your nose

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling alarm bells ring

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling but no-one gives a fling

It’s happened all before
And it will again (fore!)
Who knows where fore! And who know when
Forewarned but ignored
We all know the drill
And it’s such a bore

Substitute coffee smell
False alarms working well
Sleep-walk kings have us under their spell
Lulling into another man-made hell

But don’t get too uptight
Might get hit by a meteor right?
Don’t get too relaxed
May never get you mojo back
Ah shur ah shur ah shur…..
Ah feck!

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling alarm bells ring

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling but no-one does a thing

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling alarm bells ring

Dingalingalingalingalingalinga ling-ling
Dingalingalingaling but no-one lifts a finger

So much can go wrong
Something is bound to
It’s just a matter of how long?
