The Fiery Furnaces - Ex-Guru lyrics

One of those blonde ladies had a certain hold on me

I went to all her seminars by the airport in the Double Tree

I even let her use nephew’s seaplane in the Bahamas for free

But she means nothing to me now, I tell myself that everyday

She means nothing to me now, I tell myself every single day

I’m quite convinced I escaped her sway

I burned all my clothes with eucalyptus juice

Ripped out the floors and painted all the platforms puce

And I went so far as to sacrifice a second snake to Zeus

So she means nothing to me now, I tell myself that everyday

She means nothing to me now, I tell myself every single day

I’m still convinced I escaped her sway

But when she mopes in the moonlight on her mesa in March

Does she kick up a thunderstorm when she thinks of my betrayal?

She means nothing to me now (x2)
