No Surprises Lyrics

[Roman and Janelle]
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

[Janelle]
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

[Roman]
No alarms and no surprises

[Janelle]
No alarms and no surprises

[Roman and Janelle]
No alarms and no surprises please

[Roman]
Silent, silence

[Roman and Janelle]
All you've got to do is wake up
Rise and shine
Morning, morning
Everybody loves morning, morning
Pray to God in the morning, morning
Thank you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
