the national - smoke detector lyrics

[lyrics from live debut]

smoke detector, smoke detector
all you need to do is protect
smoke detector

smoke detector, smoke detector
blinking less and let her rest
don’t let my memory dissolve

make a list of your loved ones in order to have
a laugh in the black within the black of the night
forgive all your favorites in your phone
imagine yourself completely alone
sit in the back in my pharmacy slippers
at least i’m not on the roof anymore
in a year or so i hope n0body remembers
what everyone remembers is my time on the floor
i need to recharge the light from the stars
it won’t really reach anything, will it?
binary capsules and all of human culture
history, science, and headless sculptures
stories of monkeys and digital images
i know i’ll be anchored on the last living pages

smoke detector, smoke detector
all you need to do is protect
smoke detector
smoke detector, smoke detector
blinking less and let her rest
don’t let my memory dissolve

i’ll get better
i’ll fluff the feathers
i’ll punch in the numbers with my hand on the letters
why don’t you let me lay here and listen to distant sirens
i wonder if they have their dog in the driver’s seat
with a red helmet and his head out the window
it’s getting closer, no matter where we go
brush your t++th and write your name on the bottom of a brick
and put it on the windowpane

history in ash and slush in the dust
oh it never stands out for whatever reason
it’s a laugh for a rush for [?] remembers you
you don’t know what it is, but you don’t want to leave it
put it in a plastic bag, put it in a pocket
hang it on a handle, put it in the closet
you know whatever it is
whatever you need
i’ll make a good argument in my letter

you don’t know how much i love you
do you?
you don’t know how much i love you
do you?
try to remember what passed over us
just try to remember what passed over us

make a list of your loved ones in order to have
a laugh in the black within the black of the night
forgive all your favorites in your phone
imagine yourself completely alone
sit in the back in my pharmacy slippers
at least i’m not on the roof anymore
in a year or so i hope no one remembers
what everyone remembers is my time on the floor
i need to recharge the light from the stars
it won’t really reach anything, will it?
binary capsules and all of human culture
history, science, and headless sculptures
stories of monkeys and digital images
i know i’ll be anchored on the last living pages

you don’t know how much i love you
do you?
you don’t know how much i love you
do you?

i’ll get better
i’ll fluff the feathers
i’ll punch in the numbers with my hand on the letters
why don’t you lay here and listen to distant sirens with me
i wonder if they have their dog in the driver’s seat
with a red helmet and his head out the window
it’s getting closer, no matter where we go
brush your t++th and write your name on the bottom of a brick
and put it on the windowpane
history in ash and slush in the dust
oh it never stands out for whatever reason
it’s a laugh for a rush for [?] remembers you
you don’t know what it is, but you don’t want to leave it
put it in a plastic bag, put it in a pocket
hang it on a handle, put it in the closet
you know whatever it is
whatever you need
i’ll make a good argument in my letter

you don’t know how much i love you
do you?
you don’t know how much i love you
do you?
you don’t know how much i love you
do you?
