False Alarm

Visions of you dance through my head
Dark Heroine of the books I have read
Pages torn out, I made up my own world.

Deep in the dream, it's all built to last
You pull the plug, drain me down fast
Pop my balloon, I fell from a great high
And I'm tired of wasting life
Searching out going round
What became such a false alarm
'Cause I'm looking for the truth
Not some tired cheap cliche
False treasure in a shallow pond
Alright.

Fireworks blew out the top of your head
Powder and spark drew me to bed
Drift with you there down a dark and frozen stream
I thought I'd found jewel of the Nile
You're just a shiny rock in my pile
So many stones, stuck in my shoes.

And I know if there's enough
It could make up a road
That could lead me far from this town.

'Cause I'm looking for the truth
Not some tired cheap cliche
False treasure in a shallow pond.

And I'm tired of wasting life
Searching out going round
What became such false alarm
Just a false alarm
Just a false alarm
Just a false alarm.
