’Smoke Detector’ is taken from The National’s new album ’Laugh Track’ out now, via 4AD:
Lyrics:
Smoke detector, smoke detector
All you need to do is protect her
Smoke detector
Smoke detector, smoke detector
Blink and bless her and let her rest
Don’t let my memory dissolve
Make a list of your loved ones in order of height
Laugh at the blackbirds in the knack of the night
Forgive all the favorites in your phone
Imagine yourself completely alone
Sit in the backyard in my pharmacy slippers
At least I’m not on the roof anymore
In a year or so I hope nobody remembers
This run of episodes of my time on the floor
Need to recharge, light from the stars
Won’t really reach anything will it?
Binary capsules of all human culture
History and science, and headless sculptures
Stories of monkeys and digital religions
Like life on a note of the last living pigeon
Smoke detector, smoke
