Letra de ' Navy Nurse ' de 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.

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 turn 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).

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).

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

For it seems no matter whether I weekend in Nice or Newark,
As it were, I get no peace.
"So you shirk
The excursion and watch them remove
from the hold
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).

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.
