Cover art for Leaky Tunnel lyrics by Fiery Furnaces, The

I don't have a single, definitive meaning for this song (which I don't think Fiery Furnance songs usually have), but I've always gotten a clanking, pre-apocalyptic feel from it...like a rising surge of negative energy, a gathering black cloud that threatens worse than rain. I dunno, it just exemplifies that panicky, and strangely apathetic feeling that one gets when things start slowly chugging towards disaster.
