Failure Smoking Umbrellas Lyrics

Smoking Umbrellas Lyrics

WOKE IN MY WARM BED
JUST IN TIME FOR ALL THE BRILLIANT RED LIGHTS
THEY
WERE STREAMING THROUGH MY HALF SHUTTERED WINDOWS
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN TIME
WITH MY STUTTERED BRAIN WAVES

THE DOOR KNOB WAS GLOWING
ALL MY
PHOTOGRAPHS WERE RIPPLED AND MELTING
THROUGH THE WALLS I COULD HEAR PANICED
VOICES
THEY SEEMED TO SAY, 'GO BACK TO BED THERE'S NO CHOICES
AND NOWHERE
NOT BURNED OUT

THE FIREMAN CALLS OUT
WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
SMOKING
UMBRELLA  LEFT
IN THE HALLWAY AND

I GAVE NO ANSWER
TO ALL THEIR
SHOUTED QUESTIONS, JUST LAY BACK CHOKING
DIDN'T WANT TO STAY BUT MY BED WAS
ON FIRE
INSTEAD OF SCREAMING I FELL BACK INTO DREAMLAND
BLINKING AND
SIGHING
