lyrics

It's been a long time since I've walked in a room
Blown out a little too much a lotta too soon

.....Well that reminds me of you in the coal mine
.....Filled in a wandering gold light
.....Matchsticks gleaming
.....But you just remember the dust

Don't get caught in the wire when those harmonicas blew
Don't drag unless it's glued
What you on
Cracked the case but I can't find a clue

.....About you sweating oldies
.....Glimmered on the iceberg
.....Heavy metals shining
.....But you just remember the rust

............We blew smoke for shelter
............Under blankets of ember
............An iron to temper
............On a bed of ash
............I'd tempt fog for cellar
............You'd cast under feathers and pickled rose

I'm very gullible
I got scammed by that one, yeah I did
Helena's got a blanket for everyone
But for us, it's rough and wet

.....Kinda like you in the harbor
.....Freight gilded armored in sun
.....Cast under shimmers
.....But you just remember the flood

............We blew smoke for shelter
............You'd cast under feathers and pickled rose

Call for the camels to tussle and rouse
among those numbers stations snoops
Call for S.W.I.M. if you hear someone in the bathroom say oops

.....That's got me thinking of you in the tarpits
.....Spitting out sandbags in the overbuilt crosswind
.....Comely near the flock
.....A smokestack for sheperdess
.....But you just remember the bugs

Smoke for shelter got buried in two
