Lyrics The Alarm Is on Love - The Story

The Alarm Is on Love

I see you in the market
Behind the carriage and the magazine
I see you on the highway
Behind the tinted glass and telephone
Alarm on your car and
On your apartment door —
(the alarm is on love)
Since the slap, the burn
The third double bourbon
Any caress is an attack
Upon your mother’s love or lack
The point was to hold on to first person first
(first person singular)
I know that there’s no greater love than this —
Mother and child
From the Madonna to the one who held you
Fragile and wild
But I hold love, and I will love open
And I wish you well I wish you might
You will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
You will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
You will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
Emotion sensitive
Find the combination.
Punch it in
Is it the day that you were born
Or your girlfriend’s Christian name?
Anything could break
The contacts at the windows
(the alarm is on love)
Set it off, screaming, against love
But I hold love, and I will love open
And I wish you well I wish you might
You will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
You will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
You will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
You will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
The alarm is on love
The alarm is on love
The alarm is on love
The alarm is on love
I wish you well I wish you might
Wish you well, wish you might
