The National

The National - Mistaken For Strangers lyrics

rate me

You have to do it running but you do everything that they ask you to

cause you don’t mind seeing yourself in a picture

as long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed

showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends

when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights

arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under

oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over

surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wannna watch

another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults

Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts

so you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves

so you swear you just saw a feathery woman

carry a blindfolded man through the trees

showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends

when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights

arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under

oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over

surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wannna watch

another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends

when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights

arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under

oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over

surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wannna watch

another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
