Alphabet Block - Marnie

Quick fire, I’m on time, you’re ahead of schedule

Blue walls, propaganda mixed with scare stories

Straight lines, colour coded, lead the way to a dead end waiting room

Machines throb, we’re fluorescent in buzzing lights

These corridors smell so strange in this alphabet block I’m in

Fear and loathing and wondering

Alphabet block

Holding on, holding on

Everybody’s the same when it matters

Holding on, we’re holding on

Hold my hand, don’t let me go

Run, run, we won’t waste a second

A second, you’re out of time

You might find, when you’re on alphabet block

Run, run, we won’t waste a second

A second, you’re out of time

You might find, when you’re on alphabet block

Cigarettes, littered ground, medieval houses

All the cars bumper to bumper, not enough space

Break it down and resign to the fact that there are no promises here

Drink this down, swallow hard, don’t ask questions, right?

Just turn around, wait a week, till the alphabet block is done

Fear and loathing, still wondering

Alphabet block

Holding on, holding on

Everybody’s the same when it matters

Holding on, we’re holding on

Hold my hand, don’t let me go

Run, run, we won’t waste a second

A second, you’re out of time

You might find, when you’re on alphabet block

Run, run, we won’t waste a second

A second, you’re out of time

You might find, when you’re on alphabet block

A softly spoken voice gives a choice

But I’m not ready to make a decision

Solitary soul, solitary soul

'Cause I need you with your warm advice

Won’t hesitate, won’t pay the price

All I ask of you: can we just…

Run, run, we won’t waste a second

A second, you’re out of time

You might find, when you’re on alphabet block

Run, run, we won’t waste a second

A second, you’re out of time

You might find, when you’re on alphabet block
