Smelling cigarettes


Very much vodka and too much tequila: those are the ways I learned to deal. Across against the light and the sleet scalds my sight, stunned I stayed put and a billboard truck runs over my foot. So things are really hopping; and my unemployment's stopping; and my kitty cat's copping; and I need to forget. So I go to the window and smell a cigarette.

Now I'm in the clutches of my crutches: I'm laid up, and I sip from my cup, and I look outside. And I see Christopher Hyde-who just got divorced, and there's a restraining order enforced-going in his ex-wife's garage. I'm just drunk enough to open the window, yell out gruff:

“Don't you key that brand-new Camry.� And he gave me the cursor, “
Damn,� returning to the spot he was, “
Mind your own business you!� And I wag my finger, “You're not doing what you're supposed to do.�

And then he's coming toward me, and I took a swig of my tequila ‘cause it made me feel a little nervous as he started across against the light: but he didn't look to his right as he didn't stay put. And a billboard truck came and ran over his foot.

And the cops responding called out to me, “
Hey is this your cat?� “
Yeah, but sometimes it forgets. Ah, wait a minute. I gonna come out there and smell a couple a cigarettes.�

Don't you hurry-worry with me…

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Fiery Furnaces sono stati un duo indie rock statunitense formatosi a Brooklyn nel 2000. Composto dai fratelli Matthew e Eleanor Friedberger, il gruppo ha pubblicato sette album in studio tra il 2003 e il 2011, caratterizzati da testi poetici e melodie intricate che mescolavano influenze folk, psichedeliche e pop. La loro musica era spesso descritta come un'esperienza sonora unica e coinvolgente, con arrangiamenti complessi e una forte componente teatrale. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "The Ballad of the Great American Novel", "Tropical Sunset" e "My Sister". Dopo la pubblicazione dell'album "I'm Going Away", nel 2011 i The Fiery Furnaces si sono sciolti, con Matthew ed Eleanor che hanno intrapreso carriere soliste.
