Down at the So & So on Somwhere Songtext
von The Fiery Furnaces

Trigonometry tutors often go to dance class three times a week
You taught me that at some point that night
Connecting dots, tangent to your cheek
You check your time warp watch in the car
The angle ain′t all oblique

There we were
Down at the so and so on somewhere
Cross town from where we were some other time
Don't you remember? We were happy there
Can you remember it? Right now

I can picture powder blue matches in the mirrors
And I had to go
Get things at the gas station
Fast forward to the last time and apropos
Of nothing, called you up in the car the very same color so


It couldn′t've been cuter
Down at the so and so on someplace
Not far from where you lived some other time
Don't you remember we were happy then?
Can you remember when? Right now

The dog′s asleep in its crate
And everything is right with the world, perhaps
But I wouldn′t see you like that again for years
Now one can't make good the gaps
I wake up trying to text emoticons and "X-O," all caps

Would you meet me
Down at the so and so on somewheres
When was it ever enough? Was never enough
Don′t you remember? We were happy there?
Can you remember it right

There we were
Down at the so and so on somewhere
When was it ever enough? Was never enough
Don't you remember? We were happy there?
Can you remember when right now?
