(CO) has no scent like smoke, and so we breathe it in.

(CO) has no flash like fire, and so we watch it spin.

(CO) has no burn like ash, and so we let it fry.

(CO) has no shriek like gas, and so we hear it cry.

 

Fire is so obvious! We see it and we know.

That cares aside, we save our lives. It's time for us to go.

(CO) is not obvious. It kills without a trace. 

That's why we have a smart machine to monitor the place!

 

For when this deadly gas sets in, it screams to let us know,

That cares aside, please save your life! It's time for you to go!

Please leave this house and go outside, where air is clean at last.

And do not come inside until the deadly gas is past!

 

Little jokes don't have a smell, and so we breathe and grin.

Small suggestions have no sight, and so we let them win.

Clever pleas don't make much sound, and so we let them by.

Cutting words don't leave a mark, and so they never die.

 

Isn't hatred obvious? We see it and should know,

That cares aside, let's keep our lives. It's time for us to go.

But hatred is not obvious. It wears a loving face.

That's why we have a smart machine to monitor in case!

 

For when this deadly gas sets in, it screams to let us know

That cares aside, please keep your life! It's time for you to go!

Please leave this house and go outside, where love is clean at last!

And do not come inside until this pseudo-love is past!

 

Do not be sad if you don't always hear this smart machine.

Sometimes it takes a while for it to find the air unclean.

Just listen when it's warning sounds - you'll recognize it's chime.

And when you can, please leave your house. You'll know if it's the time.
