Lyrics The National

The National

Val Jester

Build a fire for Val Jester

Build a room for your love

Take your time when you tell her

How she lives in your blood

You should have looked after her better

You should have looked after her more

You should have locked the door

Fill her coat with weapons

And help her get it on

'Cause one day when she goes

She's gone

She should have held onto her better

You should have held onto her more

You should have locked the door

All the most important people in New York are nineteen

All the most important people in New York

All the most important people in New York are nineteen

All the most important people in New York
