heart that's full up like a landfill, 
a job that slowly kills you, 
 [bad word] that won't heal. 

You look so tired-unhappy, 
bring down the government, 
they don't, they don't speak for us. 

I'll take a quiet life, 
a handshake of carbon monoxide, 

with no alarms and no surprises, 
no alarms and no surprises, 
no alarms and no surprises, 
Silence, silence. 

This is my final fit, 
my final belly-ache 

with no alarms and no surprises, 
no alarms and no surprises, 
no alarms and no surprises please. 

Such a pretty house 
and such a pretty garden. 

No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here), 
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here), 
no alarms and no surprises, please.
