The Garfield El - The Fiery Furnaces

The Garfield El - The Fiery Furnaces
Written by：Matthew Friedberger
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 throw away 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
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
La la la
La la la
La la la
Listen to this tune I'm playing now kids
Does it seem sad
Does it remind you of when
