Smoke Detector (Live in Rome) - The National

词：Matt Berninger

曲：Aaron Dessner/Bryce Dessner

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

These episodes of my time on the floor

I need to recharge light from the stars

Won't really reach anything will it?

The binary capsules of all human culture

History and science and headless sculptures

Stories of monkeys and digital religions

Like the note on the ankle of the last living pigeon

Smoke detector smoke detector

All you need to do is protect her

Smoke detector

I don't know what your signs mean

It's your birthday alright

Happy birthday happy birthday

All we need to do is sing "Happy birthday"

Smoke detector

I'll get better I'll fluff the feathers

I'll punch in the numbers and I'll enter the letters

Why don't you let me lay here and listen to the distant sirens?

I wonder if they have a dog in the driver's seat

With a red helmet and his head out the window

It's getting closer no matter where we go

Brush your teeth and write your name

On the bottom of a brick under a window pane

Sift through the slush and the ash and the dust

For whatever stands out for whatever reason

If it's a laugh or a rush a remembered feeling

You don't know what it is but you don't want to leave it

Put it in a plastic bag and put it in a pocket

Hang it on a hanger and put it in a closet

You'll know where it is whenever you need it

I make a good argument admit it

You don't know how much I love you do you?

You don't know how much I love you do you?

Just try to remember the best of us

Just try to remember the best of us

Make a list of your loved ones in order of height

Laugh at the blackbirds in the black 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

I need to recharge the light from the stars

Won't really reach anything will it?

The binary capsules of all human culture

History and science and headless sculptures

Stories of monkeys and digital religions

Like a note on the ankle of the last living pigeon

You don't know how much I love you do you?

You don't know how much I love you do you?

I'll get better I'll fluff the feathers

I'll punch in the numbers and I'll enter the letters

Why don't you lay here and listen to distant sirens?

I wonder if they have a dog in the driver's seat

With a red helmet and his head out the window

It's getting closer no matter where we go

Brush your teeth and write your name

On the bottom of a brick under the window pane

Sift through the slush and the ash and the dust

For whatever stands out for whatever reason

If it's a laugh or a rush or a remembered feeling

You don't know what it is but you don't want to leave it

Put it in a plastic bag and put it in a pocket

And hang it on a hanger and put it in a closet

You'll know where it is whenever you need it

I make a good argument admit it

You don't know how much I love you do you?
