AUTHOR'S NOTE + SYNOPSIS
LEVEL-HEADED ADRENALINE
Patty’s parents react to the news of their daughter’s kidnapping, colliding in an up-tempo duet
Zero-hour
Launched unannounced
Alarm sudden loud and shrill
Rhyme and reason laid lame
By trembling dread
This is not a drill
Sailor’s warning
Red sky morning
To the lifeboat
Adrenaline
Steady steady
Level headed
Adrenaline
Panic’s grab and pull must be resisted
Calm and cool must be collected
Knee-jerk reflex rejected
Steady steady
Level headed Adrenaline
When catastrophe disastrously
Falls in from the sky
When self-control
And instinct collide-ide-ide-ide-ide
Floorboards rumbling
Rooftop crumbling
To the doorway
Adrenaline
Steady steady
Level headed Adrenaline
Before your train of thought
Jumps the rail
Before common sense
Can be impaled
Remain sensible in your uncertainty
Level headed Level headed
Level headed
Cautious options must be dissected
First and foremost please carry on
Steady steady
Steady steady adrenaline
Adrenaline adrenaline
Adrenaline
Steady steady
Level headed Adrenaline
Panic’s grab and pull must be resisted
Calm and cool must be collected
Knee-jerk reflex rejected
Level headed Level headed
Dam burst of fear
Ice-cold waters rising
To higher ground!
Adrenaline
Steady steady
Level headed
Adrenaline adrenaline
Stay stay stay
No no no
To the way out
Quickly quickly go go go
Steady steady
Level headed
Adrenaline
