lyrics

LISTEN TO FLUORESCENT LIGHTS
(from "Get Old and Die With Flaming Fire")

I remember when you were talking in your sleep
And you said that the trees were starting to creep
Through the ground, through the water to a brand new place
And you laughed with a horrible expression on your face

It was windy that night and the faraway cars
Were honking as the drunks drove home from the bars
There was nothing to do, you and I were alone
Together in the night in the shadows of the home

CHORUS:
Lie down on porcelain
Feel the cool cement
Breathe deep and close your eyes
Listen to fluorescent lights

Lie down on porcelain
Feel the cool cement
Breathe deep and close your eyes
Listen to fluorescent lights

In the subway this morning another beggar came
And he smelt with a stench of refuse and pain
His eyes rolled up and his quivering hand
Held a cup held in place by a brown rubber band

He was screaming out loud but he couldn't be heard
Amid the screeching of the tracks I couldn't tell a word
And the sparks of the welders fell on my window in the train
A crackling sound, then the screeching and the screaming again

CHORUS

Flaming Fire

"Flaming Fire’s frontman, Patrick Hambrecht, and his wife, Kate (who sings backup), are preachers’ children who seem as if they accidentally wandered onto the set of a Kenneth Anger film and decided to stay. The Hambrechts are waiting for the apocalypse, and their version of “Whiskey River” is the soundtrack to its aftermath." - Rachel Kushner, Author of "The Flame Throwers," New York Times ... more
