Lemonworld Lyrics
Lemonworld (柠檬世界) - The National
So happy I was invited
Give me a reason to
Get out of the city
See you inside
Watching swarms on TV
Living or dying 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 colors
And somewhere overseas
But it'll take a better war
To kill a college man like me
I'm too tired to drive anyway
Anyway right now
Do you care if I stayed
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find
Something on this thing
That means nothing enough
Losing my breath
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Losing my breath
Doo doo doo doo 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 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 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 loving torture party
I'm too tired to drive anyway
Anyway right now
Do you care if I stayed
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find
Something on this thing
That means nothing 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 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 doo doo
Losing my breath doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
