The Fiery Furnaces - Navy Nurse lyrics

I got warnings from jealous friends Cases of borrowed clothes and a vial of Dramamine from my mother And she said, "Forget what mom likes 'cause things have changed" Taught me how to make booze at home Call it "Old Uncle Zeke" and drink it early next week Now, if there's anything I've had enough of, it's today If there's anything I've had enough of, it's today If there's anything I've had enough of, it's today It's nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat Oh, so nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat I trust my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again I know my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again Save a glacier name for my daughter For when the snow turns red, when the train pulls away Listen to them whisper: (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) So on a warm winter night On a worry-free winter night Still a woman who enjoys feminine props like a filmy sky crowded with filmy white clouds In parrot green and lemon yellow Appeared champagne's daughter Sitting in a blue lacquered chair with wide gypsy stripes If there's anything I've had enough of, it's today If there's anything I've had enough of, it's today If there's anything I've had enough of, it's today For it seems no matter whether I weekend in Nice or Newark I get no peace, so you shirk The excursion and watch them remove from the hold This year's champion Dwarf Marigold This year's champion Dwarf Marigold This year's champion Dwarf Marigold This year's champion Dwarf Marigold But as there's no snakeroot anywhere on the vessel Or at any of the scheduled landings And certainly no leopard flower At least he's a first-cla** gold brick (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) (She's alert, she's open-minded, she's involved) Took the velvet-caped me, let me tell you, from the golden slope Riding the golden gulf weave Park this Florida houseboat On the rocky coast so I can see Sit side by side beside myself me On a ninety inch sofa and matching loveseat Listen to them whisper: "If there's anything I've had enough of it's tonight If there's anything I've had enough of it's tonight If there's anything I've had enough of it's tonight"
