Warning

Good morning
This is your warning
This is your warning

You're gonna appear before a stranger
I don't know if you'll be in any danger
For some are not pulled into moving cars
Some are not dragged down Fifth Avenue by the hairs in their ears
Some get away with it
Some get away with it for many years
And are not punished
But some are

Winner
Is this the work of your life?
This is the work of a beginner
Look out there, it's the last prisoner
Swaying
Look out there, it's your best friend
Gazing

There's a tall, far-off thing
With eyes
Whose existence I cannot prove or disprove
Looking at everybody all the time
Every single day
But you're gonna find
It's not been looking at me in the same
Strange way that it's been looking at you
Hmm, hmm, hmm

You're not wrong in this
Breathing your body out there
Through the impossible
And who's gonna forgive you?
Who?
Who's gonna forgive you?

Now, there is work to be done on the sides of your body
And there are hot things that are
Unusually long and they burn very badly
There are things I hope one day to
Hook around the corners of your mouth
There are plans that I have in this house written down
And there are plenty of people I can very easily
Call who can come over here within an hour
And do the work that must be done on your heart

There is so, so, so, so much work to be done on your heart
There is so much work to be done on your heart
And it's not the kind of work that you do around the house, my friend
This is your warning
Good morning
