The National

The National - Lemonworld

So happy I was invited
Gave me a reason to get out of the city
See you inside watching swarms on TV
Living and dying 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

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 enough

Losing my breath
Losing my breath

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld, I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld, I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

This pricey stuff makes me dizzy
I guess I ve always been a delicate man
It takes me a day to 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 loving 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 enough

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld, I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld, I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

Losing my breath
