The Fiery Furnaces
Smelling Cigarettes lyrics
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 unemploymentās stopping; and my kitty catās copping; and I need to forget. So I go to the window and smell a cigarette.
Now Iām in the clutches of my crutches: Iām laid up, and I sip from my cup, and I look outside. And I see Christopher Hyde-who just got divorced, and thereās a restraining order enforced-going in his ex-wifeās garage. Iām just drunk enough to open the window, yell out gruff:
āDonāt you key that brand-new Camry.ā And he gave me the cursor, āDamn,ā returning to the spot he was, āMind your own business you!ā And I wag my finger, āYouāre not doing what youāre supposed to do.ā
And then heās coming toward me, and I took a swig of my tequila ācause it made me feel a little nervous as he started across against the light: but he didnāt look to his right as he didnāt stay put. And a billboard truck came and ran over his foot.
And the cops responding called out to me, āHey is this your cat?ā āYeah, but sometimes it forgets. Ah, wait a minute. I gonna come out there and smell a couple a cigarettes.ā
Donāt you hurry-worry with meā¦
