Early Warning - Herbie Hancock

An ill wind comes arising Across the cities of the plain There's no swimming in the heavy water No singing in the acid rain Red alert, red alert It's so hard to stay together Passing through revolving doors We need someone to talk to And someone to sweep the floors Incomplete, incomplete The world weighs on my shoulders But what am I to do? You sometimes drive me crazy But I worry about you I know it makes no difference To what you're going through But I see the tip of the iceberg And I worry about you Cruising under your radar Watching from the satellites Take a page from the red book Keep them in your sights Red alert, red alert Left and rights of passage Black and whites of youth Who can face the knowledge That the truth is not the truth? Obsolete, absolutely, oh The world weighs on my shoulders But what am I to do? You sometimes drive me crazy But I worry about you I know it makes no difference To what you're going through But I see the tip of the iceberg And I worry about you The world weighs on my shoulders But what am I to do? You sometimes drive me crazy But I worry about you I know it makes no difference To what you're going through But I see the tip of the iceberg And I worry about you Absalom, absalom, absalom

I heard it might it be storming But I knew, I had an early warning Caught my own reflection And I can see, call it misdirection So much trouble in my head Keeping me down There's so much trouble in my mind Gotta find my way out, somehow Somehow I thought that I was dreaming But I could see I would stop my feeling Black skies got me asking Have I got it right? Some things I might be masking So much trouble in my head Keeping me down So much trouble in my mind Gotta find my way out, somehow Somehow I heard it might be storming But I knew, I had an early warning
