The National — Slow Show (Demo) lyrics

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

Made a mistake in my life today,
Every day I love gets lost in drawers,
I want to start over, I want to be winning,
Way out of the sync from the beginning

It's easier than this, it's easier than this,
Everything you say, there's water under it

Somebody bring me the head of a love song,
Somebody bring me the head of a lie,
Want to be a blank slate,
Want to wear a white cape,
Want to tackle young girls off their beatiful boyfriends

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay,
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away,
Can I get a minute of not being nervous,
And not thinking of my dick

My leg turns to sparkles, my leg turns to pins,
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in,
You can drive a car through my head in five minutes,
From one side of it to the other

So go now, don't make me cry,
Everything you say, there's water under it
It's easier than this, it's easier than this,
Everything you say, there's water under it

Gonna bring me the head of a love song,
Gonna bring me the head of a love song,
Gonna be a blank slate,
Want to wear a white cape,
Want to tackle young girls off their beautiful boyfriends,

Gonna bring me the head of a love song,
Gonna bring me the head of a love song,
Gonna be a blank slate,
Want to wear a white cape,
Don't over do it, I'll turn round,
Don't over do it, I'll turn round,
Don't over do it, I'll turn round,
Don't over do it, I'll go now,
Don't over do it
