Emergency

from Independence by Keith Thompson Band

/

about

From the album "Independence". Crazy lyrics about getting sucked into someone elses, "Emergency".....John and I had fun writing this as it is based on a time when John was called out by a well meaning friend to one of my "Emergencies"....but we embellished it to sound as though John joined in rather than help. I can't honestly remember!!

lyrics

EMERGENCY©2003 Thompson/Broomhall

Got a call in the night from a friend in need
Last dime in a phone booth yelling at me
He’s been drinking all night tryin’ to dull the pain
Well line ‘em up baby – here we go again
I know I should be cruel to be kind
And every time it troubles my mind
But hell I can’t save mankind
So tell me brother where do I sign

It’s an emergency
- Emergency
It’s an emergency
- Emergency

I’m tryin’ to think straight
Pour me another one
You know it’s getting late when the morning comes
I’m holding out my helping hand
And man I really understand
You can count on me I’m your man
It’s great I had nothing planned

Just another tortured soul on a weekday night
We can talk it out – but we can’t make it right
Tell me what do you want
What are you looking for
