Lyrics The National

The National

Pink Rabbits

I couldn't find quiet

I went out in the rain

I was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain

Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd

I didn't understand then

I don't understand now

Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?

Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?

And everybody was gone

You were standin' in the street 'cause you were tryin' not to crack up

It wasn't like a rain it was more like a sea

I didn't ask for this pain it just came over me

I love a storm, but I don't love lightning

All the waters coming up so fast, that's frightening

Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?

Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?

And everybody was gone

I was standing in the street 'cause I was trying not to crack

I was solid gold

I was in the fight

I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin

I couldn't see you coming so far

I just turn around and there you are

I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now

I was just getting used to living life without you around

I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now

You always said I held you way too high off the ground

You didn't see me I was falling apart

I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park

You didn't see me I was falling apart

I was a television version of a person with a broken heart

You didn't see me I was falling apart

I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in a park

You didn't see me I was falling apart

I was a television version of a person with a broken heart

And everybody was gone

You were standin' in the street 'cause you were trying not to crack up

And bona drag was still on

Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sun kicks out

Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sun kicks out

You said it would be painless

The needle in the doll

You said it would be painless

It wasn't that at all

You said it would be painless

The needle in the doll

You said it would be painless

It wasn't that at all (when the sun kicks out)

You said it would be painless

The needle in the doll (when the sun kicks out)

You said it would be painless

It wasn't that at all
