The National, Sufjan Stevens - Memories lyrics
[The National, Sufjan Stevens - Memories lyrics]
Frankie Laine, he was singing Jezebel
I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel
I walked up to the tallest
And the blondest girl i said, "Look
You don't know me now but very soon you will
So won't you let me see"
I said "won't you let me see"
I said "won't you let me see
Your naked body?"
"Just dance me to the dark side of the gym
Chances are I will let you do most anything
I know you're hungry
I can hear it in your voice
And there are many parts of me to touch
You have your choice
Ah but no you cannot see no you cannot see"
She said "no you cannot see my naked body"
We're dancing close
The band is playing Stardust
Balloons and paper streamers floating
Down on us she says
"You've got a minute left to fall in love"
In solemn moments such as this
I have put my trust and all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see her naked body
I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel
I walked up to the tallest
And the blondest girl i said, "Look
You don't know me now but very soon you will
So won't you let me see"
I said "won't you let me see"
I said "won't you let me see
Your naked body?"
"Just dance me to the dark side of the gym
Chances are I will let you do most anything
I know you're hungry
I can hear it in your voice
And there are many parts of me to touch
You have your choice
Ah but no you cannot see no you cannot see"
She said "no you cannot see my naked body"
We're dancing close
The band is playing Stardust
Balloons and paper streamers floating
Down on us she says
"You've got a minute left to fall in love"
In solemn moments such as this
I have put my trust and all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see
I said all my faith to see her naked body
