Navy Nurse - The Fiery Furnaces

I got warnings from jealous friends

Cases of borrowed clothes and a vial of Dramamine from my mother

And she said, «Forget what mom likes 'cause things have changed»

Taught me how to make booze at home

Call it «Old Uncle Zeke"and drink it early next week

Now, if there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

It’s nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat

Oh, so nice to go nautical when choosing a doormat

I trust my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again

I know my navy nurse smile will put them on their feet again

Save a glacier name for my daughter

For when the snow turns red, when the train pulls away

Listen to them whisper:

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

So on a warm winter night

On a worry-free winter night

Still a woman who enjoys feminine props

like a filmy sky crowded with filmy white clouds

In parrot green and lemon yellow

Appeared champagne’s daughter

Sitting in a blue lacquered chair with wide gypsy stripes

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of, it’s today

For it seems no matter whether I weekend in Nice or Newark

I get no peace, so you shirk

The excursion and watch them remove from the hold

This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold

This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold

This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold

This year’s champion Dwarf Marigold

But as there’s no snakeroot anywhere on the vessel

Or at any of the scheduled landings

And certainly no leopard flower

At least he’s a first-class gold brick

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

(She's alert, she’s open-minded, she’s involved)

Took the velvet-caped me, let me tell you, from the golden slope

Riding the golden gulf weave

Park this Florida houseboat

On the rocky coast so I can see

Sit side by side beside myself me On a ninety inch sofa and matching loveseat

Listen to them whisper:

«If there’s anything I’ve had enough of it’s tonight

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of it’s tonight

If there’s anything I’ve had enough of it’s tonight»
