Smokey Taboo Lyrics
They call her smokey taboo
I got your name tattooed
High like a helium balloon
Midnight to noon
I'm a desert child
And mountains make me nauseous
I like to look up wild at an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
It's true I get depressed in fancy hotel rooms
Undressed with nothing to flaunt but my loneliness
Thinking of the night song of your hair
Premature as evening falls
It calls to me
Interrupted by the sirens in the street
Somedays you're like an anchor on my heart
They say that stolen water tastes sweet
More like rotten milk and rancid meat to me
I prefers when it is free
Like looking at the stars
Don't need no fancy cars
When we first
Our kisses sparked
Yeah I'm afraid of sharks
But not the dark
High like helium balloons
In an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
When first our kisses sparked
Crystal heaven
This was crystal heaven...
Heaven...
I got your name tattooed
High like a helium balloon
Midnight to noon
I'm a desert child
And mountains make me nauseous
I like to look up wild at an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
It's true I get depressed in fancy hotel rooms
Undressed with nothing to flaunt but my loneliness
Thinking of the night song of your hair
Premature as evening falls
It calls to me
Interrupted by the sirens in the street
They say that stolen water tastes sweet
More like rotten milk and rancid meat to me
I prefers when it is free
Like looking at the stars
Don't need no fancy cars
When we first
Our kisses sparked
Yeah I'm afraid of sharks
But not the dark
In an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
When first our kisses sparked
Crystal heaven
This was crystal heaven...
Heaven...

I'm pretty sure 'dyke' should be 'dark'... rofl
sirens in the streets*, right?
lol, wtf is syrinx!?

Haha, it's not "nuns make me nauseous"... "mountains make me nauseous".
I love how the meaning of this song is slowly revealed the more you listen to it. At first phrases like 'desert child' and getting depressed in a fancy, empty hotel room evoke certain feelings, and then you imagine yourself looking up at a starry, black sky and then you just sort of just. . get the whole song . . . even though the inner workings of Bianca's crazy-ass mind are still inaccessible. It's like reading e. e. cummings. And it pretty much rocks my face.
just heard it like 5 min ago, favorite song of the album so far. I can't believe how amazing they are :D it's perfect
they say the stolen water tastes sweet, more like rotten milk and rancid meat to me; I prefer when it is free.

She sings:
"Crystal heaven..."
In the ending:
"I like helium balloons In an infinate sky Twinkling with diamonds When first our kisses sparked This was crystal heaven... Heaven..."
Perhaps "High like" not "I like". Haha.
