Song Notes:
This song got its title because the band thought the guitar riffs sounded like
something a lounge band would play. The lyrics is about having a certain vision
and being smothered by a relationship.
In the book Heavier Then Heaven an unsent letter written by Kurt to his old
girlfriend states " [What page should I quote from]"
Song Lyrics:
Truth, covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Truth, covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've make a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
And we'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you
They still
Smell her on you
Smell her on you
