Early Warning - Rory Gallagher

Early warning came this morning

Hit me lower than the bottom rung

Feel a warning in a tail spin

Now I’m livin' on an iron lung

Near the doorway I saw a ghost play

A shadow talking where their mouth has been

These are strange days in every which way

And my head is in a downward spin

Helter-skelter in the shelter

Can’t believe it, it can get no worse

See no tomorrow time to borrow

Now I’m waiting for the nuclear nurse

May the west win by an ill wind

Can’t remember when I’ve seen the sun

Ain’t no pity for my city

Well let me at you, no I’ve got to run

Who’ll remember, that’s what we’re there for

And that’s my election too

Heard a whisper from a dark stair

Cast no shadow, is that you?

Helter-skelter in the shelter

Can’t believe it, it can get no worse

See no tomorrow time to borrow

Now I’m waiting on the nuclear nurse

Now I’m waiting on the nuclear nurse

Can’t believe it, it can get no worse

Yeah…
