The National - Lemonworld

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

I'm too tired to drive anywhere
Anyway right now
Do you care if I stay
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find to find something on this thing that means nothing
and I'm losing my breath do do do do do...
Losing my breath do do do...

You and your sister live in a lemonworld
I wanna sit in and die
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
Do do do do...
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
I wanna sit in and die
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
Do do do..

This pricey stuff makes me dizzy
I guess I've always been a delicate man
It takes me a day I remember a day
I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
I was a comfortable kid
But I don't think about it much anymore
Lay me on the table put flowers in my mouth
And we can say that we invented a summer lovin torture party

I'm too tired to drive anywhere
Anyway right now
Do you care if I stay
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find something on this thing that means nothing

You and your sister live in a lemonworld
I wanna sit in and die
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
Do do do do...
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
I wanna sit in and die
You and your sister live in a lemonworld
Do do do..

Losin my breath
Do do do...
