“The title of the song is actually a reference to a Drones lyric, from their song ‘Jezebel’ off Gala Mill, which is easily one of the two or three most beloved songs of my adult life. Like most of their material, ‘Jezebel’ is supercharged with really visceral lyricism, and ‘I gave my dowry to a finger on a switch, turn me to a fine pink mist’ is a sardonic sentiment I’ve been rolling with for a long time, haha.

I’m actually proud of my lyrics on that one, because each verse has little cryptic tidbits that mean something to me on a personal level.” (Jake Sprecher)
