Lyrics The National

The National

Lemonworld

So happy I was invited

Give me a reason to get out of the city

See you inside watching swarms on TV

Livin' and dyin' 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 somethin' on this thing that means nothin' enough

Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

I want to sit in and die

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

I want to sit in and die

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

This pricey stuff makes me dizzy

I guess I've always been a delicate man

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 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 nothin' enough

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

I want to sit in and die

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

I want to sit in and die

You and your sister live in a Lemonworld

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...

Losin' my breath

Doo doo doo doo doo doo...
