Letra de Widowhood

Homing Pigeons were used frequently during times of war, to deliver messages from the front. The 'Widowhood' method, involves mating a pair of these birds (whom mate for life), separating them, and housing the female in a far-away cage with another male. This song follows a male pigeon, cursed by the memories of his mate, and desperate to follow the trail left by his captor's cigarette smoke, back to his true love
Lyrics
Teach your cigarette a lesson on the sink
I’m hung down from the fencepost
Like your puppy on his leash
Unfiltered
Lightheaded
I can smell the smoke
To where we’re headed
No wonder you’d felt so awful
Never ever go back to the waters of Omaha
Little birdie blinded for a bit
Like I’d been drunk four nights out of five in the last week
Clip empty
Unleaded
No bargain scotch
No luck in heaven…
Or hell
I know I ain’t the first
I’d be damned if I’m the last
I’ve got this pigeon’s heart
You’ve got an eye for emptied glass
Some might call it ‘widowhood,’
And some might call the cops
Oh, I’d trade all these spit-stained cigarettes
For your forget-me-nots
Unfiltered
Lightheaded
I’m breathin’ unfiltered
Lightheaded
Guess I’ll see you down in hell
That’ll be swell
