Michael Penn - Bad Sign lyrics

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 time—

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.
