The National - Blank Slate 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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

Oh no, I thought I'd be by now
My head is a buzzing three-star hotel oh no
Oh no, oh 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

Oh no, I thought I'd be by now
My head is a buzzing three-star hotel oh no
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no
No way that I thought I'd be by now
My head is a buzzing three-star hotel oh no
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no
