The Maxes: Music/Lyrics

EMOTIONAL EMERGENCY

It's a wonderful, beautiful, glorious life
Full of magic and marvel and wonder
That is until providence comes with her knife
And cuts the rug right from out under

One day your whole world is a garden to bask in
One day you're a rose spreading fragrance to all
The next day you pick up the phone and you're askin'
For someone to answer you when you call---

Emotional emergency

Engarde, heaven knows you bend when the wind blows
Like a plastic bag circling a parking lot
You make with the chakras, the mantras, the yoga pose
Then all at once it goes off like a shot

Emotional Emergency

Now I'm dancing with Mercy and Healing and Calm
And they're leading me down by the river
Slowly but surely defusing the bomb
Letting go of the shake and the shiver

Come see me, come talk to me, let us recover
That which keeps us safe from harm
An ocean of peace bathing you like a lover
Till somebody sounds the alarm

Emotional emergency
