Smoking Umbrellas

Woke in my warm bed

Just in time for all the brilliant red lights

They were streaming through my half shuttered window

Christmas lights in time with my stuttered brainwaves

The door knob was glowin'

All my photographs were rippled and melting

Through the walls I could hear panicked voices

They seem to say, "Go back to bed, there's no choices

And nowhere not burned out"

The fireman calls out, "We've got another

Smoking umbrella left in the hallway"

And the fireman calls out, "We've got another

Smoking umbrella left here"

I gave no answer to all their shouted questions

Just lay back choking

Didn't want to stay but my bed was on fire

Instead of screaming I fell back into dreamland

Blinkin' and sighin'

The fireman calls out, "We've got another

Smoking umbrella left in the hallway"

And the fireman calls out, "We've got another

Smoking umbrella left here"

I don't wanna leave

The comfort of my bed

I'd never believed it

Would happen this way

The fireman calls out, "We've got another

Smoking umbrella left in the hallway"

And the fireman calls out, "We've got another

Smoking umbrella left here"
