Lyrics
Smith And Jones Forever
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you honest when no one's looking?
Can you summon honey from a telephone?
They sat there with their hooks in the water
and their moustaches caked with airplane glue.
o come let us adore them
California overboard
when the sun sets on the ghetto all the broken stuff gets cold.
Smith and Jones forever!
Smith and Jones forever!
Smith and Jones forever together forever and ever.
Build a stage for Autumn's bitch.
They walk the alleys in duct tape shoes.
They see the things they need through the windows of a hatchback
The alleys are the footnotes of the avenues.
o come let us adore them
California overboard
holding up their trousers with extension cords.
(chorus)
I've got two tickets to a midnight execution.
We'll hitchhike our way from Odessa to Houston
and when they turn on the chair
something's added to the air
when they turn on the chair
something's added to the air forever
