The National - Humiliation Lyrics
I survived the dinnerAnd the air went thinnerI retired to the briars by the poolIt gets so loudIf I die this instantTaken from the distanceThey will probably list it downAmong other things round townGot my rings around meI got baby to pound meI see stars and go weakMy baby cries and lays me downIn the skies over black VeniceI see eyes of a white menaceThe surprise of the weekIs that I never heard the soundAnd all the L.A. womenFall asleep while swimmingI got paid to fish 'em outAnd then one day I lost the jobAnd I cried a littleI got fried a littleThen she laid her eyes on mineAnd she said, "Babe, you're better off"I got my rings around meI got baby to pound meI see stars and go weakMy baby cries and lays me downIn the skies over black VeniceI see eyes of a white menaceThe surprise of the weekIs that I never heard the soundTunnel vision lights my wayLeave a little life todayAs a free-fall advancesI'm the moron who dancesAhhahhhahhhahhhahhahhI was teething on rosesI was in guns and nosesAhhahhhahhhahhhahhahhUnder the withering white skies of humiliationUnder the withering white skies of humiliationTunnel vision lights my wayLeave a little life todayTunnel vision lights my wayLeave a little life todayShe wore blue velvetSaid she can't help itShe wore blue velvetSaid she can't help itShe wore blue velvetSaid she can't help it
