Lyrics:
I was home entertaining guests,
when I fell off the chair and cracked open my head
Bees flew out, and they flew up their skirts
Because they wanted to travel the world
I was home entertaining guests, when I fell off the chair and cracked open my head
Bees flew out, and they flew up their skirts
Because they wanted to travel the world
But I keep it upstairs
Keep it upstairs for the grand finale
I keep it upstairs
Gonna be a blank slate
Gonna wear a white cape
But I keep it upstairs
Gonna jump out of a cake with my heart on a string
Keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs
I go out looking in parked cars
For somebody famous to kidnap and love
Beat off the army with a tennis racket
I go out looking in parked cars
For somebody famous to kidnap and love
Beat off the army with a tennis racket
That's my whole plan
But I keep it upstairs
Keep it upstairs for the grand finale
I keep it upstairs
Gonna be a blank slate
Gonna wear a white cape
But I keep it upstairs
Gonna tackle young girls off their beautiful bikes
But I keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs
I don't know what I thought I'd be by now
My head is a buzzing three star hotel
Oh no
No no no no no no no no
But I keep it upstairs
Keep it upstairs for the grand finale
I keep it upstairs
Gonna be a blank slate
Gonna wear a white cape
But I keep it upstairs
Gonna jump out of a cake with my heart on a string
Keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs
I don't know what I thought I'd be by now
My head is a buzzing three star hotel
Oh no
No no no no no no no no
Nowhere that I thought I'd be by now
My head is a buzzing three star hotel
Oh no
No no no no no no no no
I'm not the one person to write comments on every video on youtube. But this song, this band.. it helps me. Everyone has those depressed times and my life isn't pretty right now, but this helps. I love The National from the first song I've heard, Brainy, and now, many months later.

I love The National, but this is soooo weird. I'm not entirely sure if I like it or not.
