Karen, The National, By David Hubbard Explicit Lyrics

alone

Karen, we should visit your father, maybe it's only a phase
He'll know the fox to get a wayward soul to convert his ways
It's a common fetish for a doting man
to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand

Well, whatever you do
Listen, you better look for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better look for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone

Without warm water in my head
All I see is dark and clean and red
I feel mechanical and thin
Hear me turn my violin again
I'm living in the target's shoes
All I see is dark and clean and blue.
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title

Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and take me a drink
I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak
I'm telling you this isn't me
No, this isn't me
Karen, believe me, you simply haven't seen my right side yet

Well, whatever you do
Listen. you better look for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better look for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone

Without warm water in my head
All I see is dark and clean and red
I feel mechanical and thin
Hear me turn my violin again
I'm living in the target's shoes
All I see is dark and clean and blue
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title

I must be me, I'm in my head
Black birds are circling my bed
I must be me, I must be me
Black feathers are falling on my feet
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title
[repeat]

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

Well, whatever you do, listen, you better look for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better look for me
No, I wouldn't go out
