The National - Tour Manager lyrics

Alice, do what you can
To get me out of this plan tonight
Maybe you can say I wanted to make it
But I won't get back in time
It's beautiful how you can
Find a good excuse for anything
None of them are cheap, but
How long can you keep on covering?

Play it like it's nothin', Alice nothin'
Play it like it's nothin', Alice nothin'

I don't wanna talk about it
Don't like the way it sounds
Wanna keep it kinda quiet
Gonna try to keep it down
I know you know what I mean
You've seen me here before
Say the bubble left without me
And don't say anymore

Let me know when you're free
I gotta tell you something I beliеve in
It came to me whilе I was
Waking up from something I was dreaming
It's beautiful how we can
Find a good excuse for anything
None of them are cheap, but
How long can we keep on covering?

Play it like it's nothin', Alice nothin'
Play it like it's nothin', Alice nothin'

I don't wanna talk about it
Don't like the way it sounds
Wanna keep it kinda quiet
Gonna try to keep it down
I know you know what I mean
You've seen me here before
Say the bubble left without me
And don't say anymore

Play it like it's nothin', Alice nothin'
Play it like it's nothin', Alice nothin'
