[Verse 1]
       
I was driving 

across the bur

ning desert
       
When I spotted

 six jet plane

s
             
Leaving six wh

            
ite vapor trai

             
ls across the 

            
bleak terrain
             
It was the hex

            
agram of the h

eavens
            
it was the str

             
ings of my gui

     
tar
             
Amelia it was 

            
just a false a

 
larm

[Instrumental]
       

[Verse 2]
    
The drone of f

lying engines
     
Is a song so w

ild and blue
             
It scrambles t

            
ime and season

             
s if it gets t

        
hru to you
             
Then your life

           
 becomes a tra

velogue
            
Of picture pos

            
t card charms
             
Amelia it was 

            
just a false a

 
larm

[Instrumental]
       

[Verse 3]

People will te

ll you where t

hey've gone

They'll tell y

ou where to go
              
But till you g

           
et there yours

              
elf you never 

       
really know
             
Where some hav

              
e found their 


paradise
            
Other's just c

           
ome to harm
             
Oh, Amelia it 

            
was just a fal

    
se alarm

[Instrumental]
       

[Verse 4]

I wish that he

 was here toni

ght

It's so hard t

o obey
             
His sad reques

            
t of me to kin

           
dly stay away
             
So this is how

  
 I hide the hu

rt
            
As the road le

              
ads cursed and

       
 charmed
             
I tell Amelia 

            
it was just a 

       
false alarm

[Instrumental]
       

[Verse 5]

A ghost of avi

ation

She was swallo

wed by the sky
          
Or by the sea 
            
Like me she ha

            
d a dream to f

               
ly
             
Like Icarus as


cending
            
On beautiful f

           
oolish arms
           
  Amelia   it 

              
was just a fal

     
se alarm

[Instrumental]
       

[Verse 6]

Maybe I've nev

er really love

d

I guess that i

s the truth
              
I've spent my 

             
whole life in 

            
clouds at icy 

          
altitudes
             
And looking do

      
wn on everythi

ng
            
  I crashed in

          
to his arms
           
  Amelia   it 

              
was just a fal

     
se alarm

[Instrumental]
       

[Verse 7]

I pulled into 

the Cactus Tre

e Motel

To shower off 

the dust
             
And I slept on

            
 the strange p

             
illows of my w

             
anderlust
             
I dreamed of 7

 
47s
            
Over geometric

      
 farms
             
Dreams Amelia 

            
- dreams and f

     
alse alarms

[Instrumental]
