A Bad Sign

Now that we're alone;
Trouble, baby, doesn't always come in threes
I had a hunch the fight was thrown
But what's it going to take to get me to my knees?

It's a bad sign
When I'm just marking time
A bad sign
Hoping will be fine
A bad sign
When I think this way
It's a bad sign

Been staring at a wall for days
Can't hold a position I will not reverse
The paper prints a simple phrase
But all I see are ciphers in iambic verse

It's a bad sign
When I'm just marking timeâ€"
A bad sign
Hoping will be fine
A bad sign
When I think this way
It's a bad sign

I hear a far off sound
It's kinda like a battleground
Hey, something's going dangerously wrong
"Evacuate the premises
And take what you can carry" says
A voice that sounds an awful lot like it's for real
But it's not

It's a bad sign
When I'm just marking time
A bad sign
Hoping will be fine
A bad sign
When I think this way
It's a bad sign
When I'm just marking time
A bad sign
Hoping will be fine
A bad sign
When I think this way
It's a bad sign
