Artist: The Fiery Furnaces
Song: Automatic Husband

Thanks for asking.
Yes it’s true, we’ve been waiting for you.
We’ve been waiting for you.
Persuade your husband he should stay at our disposal for today and take down everything we say
About the new school bus assistant snuck in charge
of leaving seven sleeping children in their seats, in a trance, induced by air-conditioning.
So I went back up to our room
And told my husband to sit down on the end-table
and that he was getting very sleepy
and when his eyes went out I put the pen back in his left hand.
At phases 8 and 31 the Four Faculties are done, but the Principles are some.
The solar period, if you look, is like the bishop in the brook, so it says in this book,
Writ by the new school bus assistant snuck in charge
of leaving seven sleeping children in their seats, in a trance, induced by air-conditioning.
And don’t forget the imaginary map
Of the Manifestations of Murder-Making
Owned by the undertaker’s office
(Otherwise known as the Cadaverous Cosmeticians)
Local # dead-as-a-doornail in a church mouse’s chin.
Or so said the birth-chart I sent away to New Mexico  for.
It was made by a special commission of Navajo basketball coaches and blonde ladies.
