My Morning Jacket - Librarian lyrics
[My Morning Jacket - Librarian lyrics]
Walk across the courtyard towards the library
I can hear the insects buzz and
The leaves 'neath my feet
Ramble up the stairwell into
The hall of books since we got the interweb
These hardly get used
Duck into the men's room
Combing through my hair
When God gave us mirrors, He had no idea
Looking for a lesson in the periodicals
There, I spy you listening to the AM radio
Karen of The Carpenters singing in the rain
Another lovely victim of the
Mirror's evil way
It's not like you're not trying with
A pencil in your hair
To defy the beauty the good Lord put in there
Simple little bookworm buried underneath
Is the sexiest librarian
Take off those glasses
And let down your hair for me
So I watch you through the
Bookcase imagining a scene
You and I had dinner, spending time
Then you sleep and what then would I say to
You lying there in bed?
These words, with a kiss
I would plant in your head
What is it inside our heads that
Makes us do the opposite
Makes us do the opposite of
What's right for us?
'Cause everything'd be great and
Everything'd be good
If everybody gave like everybody could
Sweetest little bookworm hidden underneath
Is the sexiest librarian
Take off those glasses
And let down your hair for me
Take off those glasses
And let down your hair for me
Simple little beauty, heaven in your breath
Simplest of pleasures, the world at it's best
I can hear the insects buzz and
The leaves 'neath my feet
Ramble up the stairwell into
The hall of books since we got the interweb
These hardly get used
Duck into the men's room
Combing through my hair
When God gave us mirrors, He had no idea
Looking for a lesson in the periodicals
There, I spy you listening to the AM radio
Karen of The Carpenters singing in the rain
Another lovely victim of the
Mirror's evil way
It's not like you're not trying with
A pencil in your hair
To defy the beauty the good Lord put in there
Simple little bookworm buried underneath
Is the sexiest librarian
Take off those glasses
And let down your hair for me
So I watch you through the
Bookcase imagining a scene
You and I had dinner, spending time
Then you sleep and what then would I say to
You lying there in bed?
These words, with a kiss
I would plant in your head
What is it inside our heads that
Makes us do the opposite
Makes us do the opposite of
What's right for us?
'Cause everything'd be great and
Everything'd be good
If everybody gave like everybody could
Sweetest little bookworm hidden underneath
Is the sexiest librarian
Take off those glasses
And let down your hair for me
Take off those glasses
And let down your hair for me
Simple little beauty, heaven in your breath
Simplest of pleasures, the world at it's best
