CocoRosie - Smoke 'Em Out Lyrics

Bums rush out the door
Mama didn't want you anymore
A thornless rose in her side
It burning despite
Being bonded by blood lines
It wasn't the right time
She said no more free load
This is the end of the freak show
Half shake and heart broke
Half slewed half snapped
A rat trap snapping back
Hand bone hand me down
Baloney sandwich lonely clowns
Smoke laugh toke craft
Porn blood piss grass
Kiss miss heart hand
Tried to take a stand
Down dropped sales low
The joys and woes
The curtains slowly close

Burning down the house
(Smoke em out, smoke em out the dead girl shouts)
Smoke em out
I was on the blink like so many times
Got children and wives waving forks and knives
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
Smoke em out

The new sound circles round
Slaughter raging death dice
Fall hot house burn down
Foes upon foes, west to east it goes
The dead girl says let's just be friends
In the glorious tone of marrow and bone
These days of ore
The chance we meet once more
The smoke lightning crack asunder
The boom of guns
The peel of thunder

Burning down the house
(Smoke em out, smoke em out the dead girl shouts)
Smoke em out
I was on the blink like so many times
Got children and wives waving forks and knives
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
I was on the blink like so many times
Got children and wives waving forks and knives

Smoke em out
Smoke em out baby

Burning down the house
(Smoke em out, smoke em out)
Smoke em out
Burning down the house
(Smoke em out, smoke em out)
The dead girl shouts
Burning down the house
(Smoke em out, smoke em out)
Smoke em out
Burning down the house
(Smoke em out, smoke em out)
The dead girl shouts
[repeat]
