Bad Sign Lyrics - Singles - Michael Penn

Now that we're alone; 

Trouble, baby, doesn't always come in threes. 

I had a hunch the fight was thrown, 

But what's it going to take to get me to my knees? 

It's a bad sign 

When I'm just marking time... 

A bad sign, 

Hoping will be fine. 

A bad sign. 

When I think this way 

It's a bad sign. 

Been staring at a wall for days. 

Can't hold a position I will not reverse. 

The paper prints a simple phrase 

But all I see are ciphers in iambic verse. 

It's a bad sign 

When I'm just marking time 

A bad sign, 

Hoping will be fine. 

A bad sign 

When I think this way. 

It's a bad sign. 

I hear a far off sound 

It's kinda like a battleground. 

Hey, something's going dangerously wrong. 

"Evacuate the premises 

And take what you can carry" says 

A voice that sounds an awful lot like it's for real 

But it's not. 

It's a bad sign 

When I'm just marking time, 

A bad sign 

Hoping will be fine, 

A bad sign. 

When I think this way. 

It's a bad sign. 

When I'm just marking time, 

A bad sign 

Hoping will be fine, 

A bad sign. 

When I think this way. 

It's a bad sign.
