Only in an Emergency

[start] [Intro | piano and fuzz guitar riff | immediate vocal entry] [Verse 1 | clipped phrasing] You took me out of every sentence Left me in the smallest print After two, the worst went looking One bad night and I exist [Refrain | open phrasing] Only in an emergency Only after two Only when a stranger needs Someone who still knows you [Verse 2 | tighter pressure] You made a stranger of me slowly Then the danger made me fluent Every answer came back ready Like the leaving never happened [Bridge | drums withdraw | riff fragments] Being needed isn't being chosen I can tell the two apart I can answer for the history Without asking for a part [Final Refrain | full riff returns] Only in an emergency Only after two Only when a stranger needs Someone who still knows you [Outro | instruments cut | hard stop] Change the name when you get home [end]
