Fiery Furnaces - The Garfield El lyrics

Faster, hammers Faster, hammers Churn and turn into my late train to my lost love Ring away today, stick, bruise into my felt, or so I felt I found a skeleton tooth in the junk drawer And I mean to open the folding green and white door And take a late train to my lost love Faster, hammers! Faster, hammers! Listen to those dead pianos, pins stuck in their hearts Clang tap bell pedal down dead wood chipped and dull dark steel Rattling and chattering and chilly on a damp November afternoon On tracks one and two And twelve and thirteen On that ribbon spinning and computer colors Tick tacks on round wire Spun steel spark on three rail thin lines See a minor, a little girl Ask if she would like for instance some fudge But I didn't budge, and said I didn't care I wanted to sit, and I wanted to stare Spin steel, tick tack on three little strings made three little rails made one note clunk Three rails squeaking and sputtering down the west side I found a skeleton tooth in the junk drawer and I mean to open the folding green and white door And take a late train to my lost love Faster, hammers! Faster, hammers! Chatter down the tracks, you thumb tack smiley skull teeth Ticking five dollar throwaway pianos past A late train to my lost love Listen to those dead pianos, pins stuck in their hearts Clang tap bell pedal down dead wood chipped and dull dark steel Rattling and chattering and chilly on a damp November afternoon On tracks one and two And twelve and thirteen On that ribbon spinning and computer colors Tick tacks on round wire Spun steel spark on three rail thin lines Late, by act of Congress and blue all the way to Forest Park And this ribbon spinning and computer color Into a public transport for everyone to hear and get on track And back to my lost love Faster, hammers! Faster, hammers! We're almost there Faster, hammers! We're almost there I'd like to tell you a story, kids But instead I'll change the subject Listen to this tune, it sounds like a condolence card Bought at the last minute for someone you can't stand For someone you never liked And isn't it cute La la la... Listen to this tune I'm playing now, kids Does it seem sad Does it remind you of when
