Code Orange

(album: Cheap Grills - 2023)

The revolving door spins as my stomach turns
It's 2am, 3rd degree burns
In my eyes, and sometimes
It's alright, it's alright
And the telephone rings. Now it's off the hook.
While I try to sing the telephone book
For someone to come by
And save me for the night

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so suffocated
In the emergency room waiting
But I think it's gonna be a while
Light a match, burn all the files
Code Orange on speed dial
Speed dial

Watch the headlights pull away
And my stomach drops into my legs
And oh my god, it's been a day
There was so much more that I want to say
Lemon lime and cherry picking all the promises that you kept forgetting
We mixed up the paperwork. Now we're in deep shit.
Sir, for a dollar, how do you feel about it?

Do you, do you even know why?
I do, I do believe it's a sign
Golly, would you look at the time?
I'm gonna take back what is mine

Do you, do you even know why?
I do, I do believe it's a sign
Golly, would you look at the time?
I'm gonna take back what is mine
I'm gonna take back what is mine

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so suffocated
In the emergency room waiting
But I think it's gonna be a while
Light a match, burn all the files
Code Orange on speed dial
Speed dial
