Red, Red, Red

Liner Notes
Autistic burnout is a cycle I'm working my way out of. Some days/weeks are better than others.
Since it is FAWM, it started me thinking in terms of song lyrics and then I wanted to play with harmony again, and genre.
I haven't sung this intentionally not classical ever, I don't think and I really like the result.
Recording is rough, but I'm leaving the phone vibration and puppy whines in, cause I can't put this song on pause as well to do a better version.
This also is my song for the #oraclechallenge
My card was Forbidden. Fittingly.

Lyrics
The warning light comes on
It’s blinking red, red, red,
This is a bad, bad call,
I hear inside my head
We’re very close now
Too close to turn
Slow down the racing legs,
This is the edge
It’s not forbidden,
Not exactly,
Just a bad idea
It’s not forbidden,
But it’s chancy
Packs a punch that hurts
Too many people talk
And all their voices merge
I’m losing track of now,
I know I’m on the verge
We’re very close now
Too close to stop
Pick out a place for us to drop
That has a ledge
It’s not forbidden,
Not exactly,
Just a bad idea
It’s not forbidden,
But it’s chancy
Packs a punch that hurts
It’s not forbidden,
Not exactly,
Just a bad idea
It’s not forbidden,
It’s real chancy
Packs a punch that hurts
