Ray Bouvier - The Fiery Furnaces

Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe

He won the local lottery and took us out

We put a barricade down the middle of the bed

But that didn’t stop me from looking down the barrel

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not

Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe

I kept the bullet as a souvenir and took it to the knife show

To carve out my name and the date

But it was too heavy to wear around my neck

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not

Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe

If Kristi kills me I’ll know who told her

We’ve never kept secrets from each other at all

But luckily it wasn’t her favorite pair

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not

Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe

He took us out drinking after he won the local lottery

We put a barricade down the middle of the bed

But the smoke never cleared from the room, not at all

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not

Well, I thought I was thinking but apparently not
