The National - Secret Meeting Lyrics

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

The National - Baby, We'll Be Fine Lyrics

All night I lay on my pillow and pray
For my boss to stop me in the hallway
Lay my head on his shoulder and say
"Son, I've been hearing good things"

The National - Lit Up Lyrics

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

We're out looking for astronauts
Looking for astronauts
We're out looking for astronauts
Looking for astronauts

Build a fire for Val Jester
Build a room for your love
Take your time when you tell her
How she lives in your blood

The National - City Middle Lyrics

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

The National - All The Wine Lyrics

I'm put together beautifully, big wet bottle in my fists, big wet rose in my teeth
I'm a perfect piece of ass like every Californian
So tall I take over the street with high-beams shining on my back
A wingspan unbelievable, I'm a festival, I'm a parade

More The National - All The Wine Lyrics

The National - Daughters Of The Soho Riots Lyrics

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

The National - Friend Of Mine Lyrics

Hey, where the hell are you?
You don't call me back, John
Won't you come here and stay with me?
Why don't you come here and stay with me?

The National - Karen Lyrics

Karen, I'm not taking sides, I don't think I'll ever do that again
I'll end up winning and I won't know why
I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying
You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all the time

More The National - Karen Lyrics

The National - Mr. November Lyrics

This is nothing like it was in my room in my best clothes
Trying to think of you
This is nothing like it was in my room in my best clothes

The National - The Geese Of Beverly Road Lyrics

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
