Blinking light on the fire alarm

Oh, blinking light I
Know you’re just doing your job I
Know you couldn’t shut off even
If you wanted to I
Know your boss would
Banish you to some spot on
The ceiling in the basement I
Know you worked hard to get to
This ceiling on the second floor I
Just wish there was some way for
You and I to come to terms with
The fact that it’s very unlikely there
Will be a fire tonight and
Even if there will be I
Accept the risk in exchange for
A bit more sleep without a light
Blinking … one second and
Blinking again I
Just want to get some sleep and
You, my dear blinking light
Aren’t helping
