Fiery Furnaces - Automatic Husband lyrics

rate me

Thanks for asking

Yes it's true, we've been waiting for you

We've been waiting for you

Persuade your husband he should stay

At our disposal for today

And take down everything we say

About the new school bus assistant snuck in change

Of leaving seven sleeping children in their seats,

In a trance, induced by air-conditioning

So I went back up to our room

And told my husband to sit down on the end-table

And that he was getting very sleepy

And when his eyes went out I put the pen back in his

Left hand

At phases 8 and 31 the Four Faculties are done,

The Principles are some.

The solar period, if you look,

Is like the bishop in the brook,

So it says in this book

Writ by the new school bus assistant snuck in change

Of leaving seven sleeping children in their seats,

In a trance, induced by air-conditioning

And don't forget the imaginary map

Of the Manifestations of Murker-Making

Owned by the undertaker's office

(Otherwise known as the Cadaverous Cosmeticians)

Local number dead-as-a-doornail in a church mouse's

Chin

Or so said the birth-chart I sent away to New Mexico

For

It was made by a special commission of Navajo

Basketball coaches and blonde ladies
