"The Piano Knows Something I Don't Know" lyrics
"The Piano Knows Something I Don't Know"
I won't cut my beard and I won't change my hair
It grows like fancy flowers, but it grows nowhere
My hair, my hair
If I could build my house just like the Trojan horse
I'd put a statue of myself upon the shelf
Of course, of course, of course
She's the smoke, she's dancing fancy pirouettes
Swan diving off of the deep end of my tragic cigarette
She's steam laughing on the windowpanes
The never-ending, swaying haze
Oh, that ever smiling maze
Oh, that ever smiling maze...
A ballet
Everything's gone missing, I've lost more songs to floods
I can't prove this makes any sense, but I sure hope that it does
Perhaps, I was born with curiosity, the likes of those of old crows
The likes of those of old crows, and oh, how the piano knows
The piano knows something I don't know
I won't cut my beard and I won't change my hair
It grows like fancy flowers, but it grows nowhere
My hair, my hair
If I could build my house just like the Trojan horse
I'd put a statue of myself upon the shelf
Of course, of course, of course

Ryan Ross said to VH1 about this track, "Jon and I were playing guitar. Spence just grabbed the lyrics: they were just for whatever, not for anything we were playing. He just came up with a melody for this thing. We ended up writing most of the song that night, at least the basic idea. I think that's the most experimental song on the album because there's no chorus. It's two different songs put together."
Comparing a woman to swirling smoke and a diving swan may come from the fact that Ryan Ross' girlfriend at the time was a dancer. He is the author of this song, so he used those metaphors to describe the subject of it.
