Until the Coast is Clear

I don't think we'll be seeing

any peace of mind

at least not anytime soon

no more rock and roll adventures

no cows jumping over the moon

I'm sitting here in my bunker

with my guitar and a mountain of beer

Gonna get way down and hunker

until the coast is clear

The clown is talking backwards

he says the plague is a harmless hoax

I have to wonder

though they say he's clean

what brand of herb he smokes

Saint Frances came looking for slavation

I said there is no salvation here

Pull up a seat

Take a load off your feet

until the coast is clear

Until the coast is clear

Until the coast is clear

I'm gonna feed my hope and starve my fear

until the coast is clear

Until the coast is clear

peace of mind ain't got a chance

You can't wrap your arms around anyone

It's too dangerous to dance

Way off in the distance

I hear strains of "A Love Supreme"

Down the street some hysteric is shouting

"Get me out of this terrible dream."

The television preacher slams his bible

He swears the end is near

I'm looking forward to the beginning

when I know the coast is clear
