Smoke Detector by Rilo Kiley

My eyes burn, everybody smokes
My eyes burn, everybody smokes
I smoke too, but not as much as you
I do the smoke detector

There is a girl in a tank top
She is not wearing a bra
She looks so hard on the dance floor
She does the smoke detector

She says "danger
"Do the smoke detector"
She says "danger
"I'm the smoke detector"

I took a man back to my room
I was smoking him in bed
Yeah, i was smoking in bed
This is what he said.

I took a man back to my room
I was smoking in bed
Yeah, I was smoking in bed
This is what he said.

I said "danger
"Do the smoke detector"
I said "danger
"Do the smoke detector

Keri was cooking last night and using the broiler. Sure enough the goddam smoke alarm went off. And the fucking house imspector who installed the dam thing put it on the fucking ceiling. So I had to get a fucking chair and wrestle with the fucking thing while I tried to figure out how to shut it off. Those things are so FUCKING LOUD. Finally I literally took a hammer out of the drawer and smashed it. The kids were screaming and had no idea what the hell just happened. Why?? Why do they have to make smoke detectors so loud? They don’t need to be. And why the hell don’t they just put a button on the front that turns it off?? The world is a horrible place

'Do the smoke detector' makes me think of it as a dance, like the cabbage patch, sprinkler, etc

I guess you'd go on the dance floor and start making an annoying, ear piercing shrill

Until someone knocked you unconscious

Or pulled the batteries out of your pocket or both

I understand you want your detector to be tough and durable

But great googly moogly, just like your experience, those bastards are practically indestructible

Sometimes it feels like removing the battery only makes them stronger

Wolverine the smoke detector - I mean c'mon

On a side note, I do like some of Rilo Kiley's songs, she has a unique sound

Yes they should make smoke detectors silent.
