Could you tell re-enchantment I said goodbye
I met a girl named disillusionment
Could you tell her I made the headlines
This is a boy who draws wings on everything
Could you tell her to check the headlines
This is a boy who finds angels in the river
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before

Well I know that you know
That you've become the target of this hand
With never even asking
Well I know that you know
That you're the only thing that I can stand

So how could your hair
Have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing

Little faith, follow me
I set a fire in a blackberry field
Make us laugh, or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it kills

Now I'm stuck in New York
And the rain's coming down
I don't feel like we'll go anywhere

Today you were far away
and I didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I say

About Today

Today you were far away
and I didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you

Try not to worry there's a voiceover
Go on, go quiet for a change
We can dial down the daylight a little
I think the candy blue sky's messing with out brains
We must have hit our heads
Don't expect familiar feelings
No one knows what to talk about
Just come lay down here on the couch

The National – All Dolled-Up in Straps

I think I saw you riding in a car,
You looked happy for a woman
Black fingers in your mouth and a white,
And a white pearl choker.

My head plays it over and over,

Give my jewels to the army, my silverware and jeans
Give my love to your family, tell them anything
Give yourself to anyone, give yourself away
Don't be a nightingale for anyone's space to fill
If I could, I'd be your star again
Fall across your falling sky
It takes a lot of little rain to make you feel like nothing
Anything, anything you care to do, do to me

Say you stayed at home
Alone with the flu
Find out from friends
That wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead

Didn't want to be your ghost

Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on
La, la, la, la, la
Can you carry my drink, I have everything else
I can tie my tie all by myself
I'm getting tied, I'm forgetting why
Oh, we're so disarming, darling, everything we did believe
Is diving, diving, diving, diving off the balcony
Tired and wired, we ruin too easy

Was it nothing I said?
It's so attractive to be so silent
It keeps the mystery up
And it seems it keeps you hanging on me

Another letter from home
I don't know why I even read it
It's one big question

You're walking taller than you should
The air is thin around your beautiful head
You're saying things with your mouth to me
That I don't recognize, you're aware of yourself lately

Redefining yourself, designing yourself
You haven't looked at me forever
Got a diagram of your associations

I was home entertaining guests
When I fell off the chair and cracked open my head
Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts
'Cause they wanted to travel the world

I was home entertaining guests
When I fell off the chair and cracked open my head
Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts

Crushed on the train
We'd stand by the window
Sweat through the hard parts of June
We hugged it out and ducked it on purpose
Nothing else I needed to do
I was born to beg for you
Later that year in the back of the Warsaw
I thought you and I might be okay

Never look her in the eyes
Never tell the truth
If she knows your paper
You know she'll have to burn you
Never tell the one you want that you do
Save it for the deathbed
When you know you kept her wanting you
And do everything she'd never do

I was a worm, I was a creature
I get on the ground the second I'd see you
You cannot command your love
I wasn't a catch, I wasn't a keeper
I was walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
Hand and glove
So blame it on me
I really don't care

Take us down and all apart
Cherry Tree
Lay us out on the table

You’re sharp alright

But no one is asking so leave it alone
Leave it alone

Karen, take me to the nearest famous city middle where they hang the lights
Where it's random and it's common versus common, la la la
Karen, take me to the nearest famous city middle where they hang the lights
Where it's random and it's common versus common, la la la
I got 500 in twenties, and I've got a ton of great ideas
I'm really worked up
I'm on a good mixture, I don't wanna to waste it
I'm on a good mixture, I do not wanna waste it

I think the kids are in trouble
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Give them ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
We live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep

I have your good clothes in the car
So cut your hair so no one knows
I have your dreams and your teethmarks
And all my fingernails are painted

I'm here to take you now

You were right about the end

I don't need you, I don't need you
Besides I barely ever see you anymore
And when I do it feels like you're only halfway there
Young mothers love me even ghosts of
Girlfriends call from Cleveland
They will meet me anytime and anywhere
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?

When I think of you in the city
The sight of you among the sights
Get this sudden sinking feeling
Of a man about to fly
Never kept me up before
Now I've been awake for days
I can't fight it anymore
I'm going through an awkward phase

Gold light breaks behind the houses
I don't see what's strange about this.
Tiny bubbles hang above me.
It's a sign that someone loves me.
I can hardly stand up right
I hit my head upon the light
I have faith but don't believe it
It's not there enough to leave it.

You're always where you leave yourself
Six feet in the sky
True love at your fingertips
Engineered for life
You can stop dreaming
You can stop dreaming
You're just the way you like yourself
Social, bright and promising

You've been sleeping for miles
So what did you see?
Here the sky's been falling white flowers
And there's ice in all the trees
I've been tapping the table
I've been hoping to drink
There's a line that goes all the way from my childhood to you
Can't you find a way?

Someone send a runner
Through the weather that I'm under
For the feeling that I lost today
Someone send a runner
For the feeling that I lost today

Someone send a runner
Through the weather that I'm under

What about the glass dandelions?
What about the TV screen?
What about the undeveloped camera?
Maybe we should bury these
What about the last of the good ones?
What about the ceiling fans?
What if we moved back to New York?
What about the moon drop light?

Exile
It takes your mind again
Exile
It takes your mind again
You've got suckers' luck
Have you given up?

Does it feel like a trial?

Stay out super late tonight picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire

Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice, bluebirds on our shoulders
We're half awake in a fake empire

You keep a lot of secrets
And I keep none
Wish I could go back
And keep some

You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof

On my feet I stand tonight
Stand and step up to the light
An extraordinary man
Unbroken in a breaking light

Forever after days
Stand and make myself a crown
To the table I step alone

This machine's a backwards thinker
That looks for you until its neck hurts
It's not so hard to be a person
If you've got something you can reference
Grease in your hair
Fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes
Totally honest

Falling out of touch with all my
Friends are somewhere, getting wasted
Hope they're staying glued together
I have arms for them

Take another sip of them
It floats around and takes me over
Like a little drop of ink

You're sleeping night and day
How d'you do it?
Me I am wide awake
Feeling defeated
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I know it's not working
I'm no holiday

I liked the old way, I thought
I was hanging in there
You held back the worst rain
From my shoulders then
What are we going through, you and me?
Every other house on the street's burnin'
What are we going through, wait and see
Days of brutalism and hairpin turns

I could walk out, but I won’t,
In my mind I am in your arms.
I wish someone would take my place,
Can’t face heaven all heavenfaced.
No one’s careful all the time,
If you lose me, I’m gonna die.

How completely high was I?

I'm your angel when it rains, dear
Heaven picks the place
I'm a child in that way, dear
Please do it again
Hey Rosey, I think I know just what the feeling is
I was hoping you wouldn't see me like this
I hate to fall before your feet again
I'm the rocks they weigh down the angels with

Take your time, use a year
That should cover what I owe you
and some things that you will never know
I wear your clothes til you come home
You'll know me by the way I'm dressed
and now they seem to fit me, better than my own

I give to you the safe side of the (cup?)

I survived the dinner
Then the air went thinner
I retired to the briars by the pool, it gets so loud
If I die this instant
Taken from a distance
They would probably list it down
Among other things 'round town
Got my rings around me

How long have we been here?
Am I ever coming down?
I need to find some lower thinking
If I'm gonna stick around
I'm not going anywhere
Who do I think I'm kidding?
I'm still standing in the same place
Where you left me standing

Cartoons from a television
Whistles from the street
Black out curtains, summer sirens
Electricity
I don't need ice machines
I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness

I was home entertaining some guests when I
Fell off the chair and cracked open my head
Bees flew out and they flew
Up their skirts and they
Cracked open the window and in
Came the myna birds
I was home entertaining some guests when I
Fell off the chair and cracked open my head

I am good, I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
I can’t get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
I need my girl
I need my girl

Remember when you lost your shit and

Однажды поп-трансинг компанию
Послали тусить в Трансильванию
Но где-то под небом Румынии
В тумане заплутал самолет.

Оставив машину с пилотами
Они пробирались болотами
С вампирами, ведьмами, готами

Everybody needs a prayer and needs a friend
Everybody knows the world's about to end
Everybody wants to know when the end will be
Everybody wants to look before they leap
Everybody wants a sip of wine to drink
Everybody wants a little more time to think
Everybody needs a reason why they run
Everybody wants to know what they're running from

So happy I was invited
Give me a reason to get out of the city
See you inside watching swarms on TV
Livin' and dyin' in New York it means nothing to me
I gave my heart to the Army
The only sentimental thing I could think of
With cousins and cousins somewhere overseas
But it'll take a better war to kill a college man like me

You were waiting outside for me in the sun
Laying down to soak it all in before we had to run
I was always ten feet behind you from the start
Didn't know you were gone 'til we were in the car
Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me
'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
And I would always be light years, light years away from you
Light years, light years away from you

My bodyguard shows her revolver to anyone who asks
And yeah she comes to attention when you come up to me too fast
For a little while you'll be here, the only good part of me
For a little while you'll be here
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie Manhattan
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie

Every time you get a drink
And every time you go to sleep
All those dreams inside your head
Is there sunlight on your bed
And every time you're driving home
Way outside your safety zone
Wherever you will ever be
You're never getting rid of me

I saw my love with pretty boy
I saw my love with pretty boy

Murder me Rachael I made a mistake
I loved her to ribbons
I loved her to ribbons
Murder me Rachael I made a mistake
Murder me Rachael

How you tapped on a box
Of blue American Spirit's
At Anyway Cafe a little under a month
Before the ashes and the streets
How we through the cones walking home
To the place on Atlantic you shared with
Your hilarious sister
Kicking off your and laughing

You said we're not so tied together
What did you mean?
Meet me in the stairwell in a second
For a glass of gin
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there

tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
where skin and everything still know what they are for
and blood remembers where to go

I fell in love with you no matter what you say
but you were right about the reasons
to turn a magdeline into the month of May

I thought I'd come to you
And your long lazy scene
Instate direction, finger on a magazine.
I'd call you when I need you
I can't get used to your new name.

Send a body double over with your keys
She'll see you in an hour

As we rode on out to Fennario
As we rode on out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with
A lady like a dove
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O

Will you marry me pretty Peggy-O
Will you marry me pretty Peggy-O

I used to fall asleep to you talking to me
I don't listen to anything now
Nothing to do with us
I'm just so tired of thinkin' about everything
I'm not afraid of being alone
I just don't know what to do with my time
Between you and me
I thought it would all last a little while longer

And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.

I'm keeping you in mind
For the rest of years, for the rest of years

In your watery eyes I'm gonna rest all day
In your watery eyes I'm gonna rest all day
In your watery eyes I'm gonna rest some day
In your watery eyes

There's no saving anything
Now we're swallowing the shine of the sun
There's no saving anything
How we swallow the sun

But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway

Rylan, you should try to get some sun.
You remind me of everyone.
Rylan, did you break your mother’s heart
Every time you try to play your part?

Is it easy to keep so quiet?
Everybody loves a quiet child.
Is it easy to seem so grounded?

I think this place is full of spies
I think they're onto me
Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you
Didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room?
I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I know
And so and now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way

If you're ever sitting at the airport
And you don't wanna leave
Don't even know what you're there for
Send for me
If you're ever heartsick in an elevator
Full of bachelorettes
Cornered in and it's taking forever
Please don't forget

We've been stuck out here in the hallway for way way too long
I'm at a loss, I'm at a loss
I'm losing grip, the fabric's ripped
Go back to sleep, let me drive, let me think, let me figure it out
How to get us back to the place where we were when we first went out
I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left
I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left
Losing parents, losing sense

Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute, more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in the drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning

Anything we should know about your change?
I know you're a serious lady
Living off a teacup full of cherries
Nobody knows where you are living
Nobody knows where you are

Take a bath and get high through an apple
Wanted to cry but you can't when your laughing

Lay down in the doorway in front of me
Make yourself impossible for me to leave
I remember a kid in the water, I remember a world on fire
I was just comin' out of it, it was so hot all summer
I get so far, so fast
I get so far, so fast
The storm, the blackout, the quiet sea
You went running right into it, away from me

Why can't I say anything?
It never has no meaning
I can't breathe, I can't speak
I don't know what I'm feeling
That wasn't me
I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate
Someone in love

And if you follow me son
The window wrap around you
Carry from the ground
You will never be alone

You wait one turn to sunlight
That's falling on a girl
You're still outside the world

sorrow found me when I was young
sorrow waited, sorrow won
sorrow they put me on the pill
it's in my honey, it's in my milk

don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'cos I don't wanna get over you

It's a calculation I made a mistake on
I never should have said it like I said
It will come to me later like a space invader
And I won't be able to get it out of my head
What if I'd never written the letter
I slipped in the sleeve of the record I gave you?
What if I'd stayed on the C train until Lafayette?
What if we never met?

sugar wife
sugar wife
sugar wife
can you make me a man
baby doll can you make me a dad

I'm no butterfly (repeats)

Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears
Don't ask questions, you don't know your name
Something for everyone, try to win prizes
Stay young and quiet

Tall saint I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you
Bubbles to the chandelier
I'm in your hands tonight

It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's quiet company
It's quiet company

We'll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks
Like red roses
We'll go from car to sleeping car
And whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road

ten years older than i was
what i brought you down to see,
what i thought would make you fall in love

wearing off on our dreams
someday man i'm gonna be no different than the other rivers
i tried to look at you but i couldnt break the ice
you stood out there for an hour freezing

Something's leaving me behind
It's just a feeling in my mind
What was it you always said?
We're connected by a thread
If we're ever far apart
I'll still feel the pull of you
I know, I get it
I'm either at the bottom of a well

And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.

А кто Ты таков, спросил гордый лорд,
Чтоб я склонялся пред Тобой?
Всего навсего кот на другом гербе,
Вот вся на то причина.
Будь герб кровавый иль золотой,
У льва всегда есть когти!
А мои когти настолько же остры, насколько и Твои.
Так молвил он, так молвил он! Лорд Кастемира.

[Verse 1]
Maybe I listen more than you think
I can tell that somebody sold you
We said we’ve never let anyone in
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets

[Chorus]
The system only dreams in total darkness

Where crybabies cry
In the united states
Bright white on both sides
Like a plate
Nobody listens
Nobody should
It'd be a waste of attention

As far as I can tell
I'm nothing like a princess
but today I find myself
curling up behind the house

There's nothing in the air today
now I know I'm not so important

Oh, when I lift you up
You feel like a hundred times yourself
I wish everybody knew
What's so great about you

Oh, but your love is such a swamp
You don't think before you jump
And I said I wouldn't get sucked in

I wasn't starting yet, I didn't even think you were listening
I wasn't ready at all to say anything about anything interesting
It's a thing you have, you just don't know that you do it
You wait around in a conversation while I get in and start stumbling through it
I was so distracted then
I didn't have it straight in my head
I didn't have my face on yet
Or the role, or the feel, of where I was going with it all

I had a hole in the middle,
Where the lightning went through,
I told my friends not to worry,
My wife would know how to fix it.
Hole in the middle,
I'm seeing less of you.
Now I'm not going anywhere, and I don't know what I'll do.

Every house on the street will
Get on their feet
Carry the sleepers out into the weather
From the violet cities the violet cities

They'll turn on their lights
And open their eyes
Drop to their knees and they'll

You're cussing a storm in a cocktail dress
your mother wore when she was young
Red sun saint around your neck
A wet martini in a paper cup
You're a wasp nest, you're a wasp nest.

Your eyes are broken bottles
And I'm afraid to ask

Is she outside?
Is she looking out?
Is she standing up?
Where are her hands?
Where are her eyes?
Where are her feet?
Where's her head?
Is she outside?

I was in a fog, I didn't notice everything
Was coming all apart inside of me
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
You made a slow disaster out of me
There's a radiant darkness upon us
I don't want you to worry
I was careful but nothing is harmless
Baby, you better hurry

You had fun
But you couldn't get him out of the car
I guess mamma's boys only go so far
You went in and put a record on
To make it sound like someone was home
And thanked yourself for pouring
Yourself a drink

I couldn't find quiet
I went out in the rain
I was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain
Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
I didn't understand then
I don't understand now

Am I the one you think about when you're

Oh, when I lift you up
You feel like a hundred times yourself
I wish everybody knew
What's so great about you

Oh, but your love is such a swamp
You don't think before you jump
And I said I wouldn't get sucked in
