Smith & Jones Forever - Silver Jews

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 mustaches 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

Smith and Jones forever!

Smith and Jones forever!

Smith and Jones forever, together forever and ever

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

Smith and Jones forever!

Smith and Jones forever!

Smith and Jones forever, together forever and ever
