lyrics

Awake before the sun’s up
One eye squints at a quiet clock
Anticipation grows into a sense of urgency

A note explains the setup
You’ve read it front, back, back, front
And yet it never seems to quiet the anxiety

Belts and braces won’t save the day

Alert to every pitfall
An eye that looks to find fault
Exhausted by the time spent mapping each contingency

A list that never grows small
Add on new problems to solve
Don’t look outside to find the source of this emergency

Belts and braces won’t save the day
Belts and braces in the way
