The National - Conversation 16 (Unofficial Video) [HD] + Lyrics

I think the kids are in trouble
I do not know what all the troubles are for
Give them ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore

We'll live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep

Now we'll leave the silver city, 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

It's a Hollywood summer
You'll never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said I didn't mean anything

We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
I do not wanna disappoint anyone

Now we'll leave the city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
Cause I'm evil
Cause I'm evil

I'm a confident liar
I'll have my head in the oven so you'll know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I wanna believe in everything you believe

I was less than amazing
I do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore

Now we'll leave the city, 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil

Greatest song I heard in 2013

[aliencatx]

Beautiful song.

As many said before I like this vid a lot better than the official one. This betrays a lot of mix feeling of what hell it must be like existing as a zombie. You know you do horrible things but you can’t help it.

Lament for a reluctant zombie

[marco brenni]

Molto "Dark", ma grande musica - The National son forti!!

[AudioAndroid]

Someone needs to make a Hannibal Lecter music video to this song, but i did enjoy this video good job.

[britainlovesbongs]

[kittyhilton80]

Love it! Two words more zombies!!

But see, the literal interpretation of eating someone's brains still works as a metaphor influencing someone's deep emotional life, so to me, it still works. :)
