The National – So Far Around The Bend

25

Lyrics:

I know you’re a serious lady
Living off a teacup full of cherries
Nobody knows where you are livin
Nobody knows where you are

Take a bath and get high through an apple
Wanted to cry but you cant when you’re laughin
Nobody knows where you are livin
Nobody knows where you are

You’re so far around the bend
You’re so far around the bend

Ill run through a thousand parties
Ive run through a million bars
Nobody knows where you are livin
Nobody knows where you are

You’ve been humming in a daze forever
Praying for Pavement to get back together
Nobody knows where you are living
Nobody knows where you are

You’re so far around the bend
You’re so far around the bend

Now there’s no leaving New York
Now there’s no leaving New York

You’re so far around the bend
You’re so far around the bend

Now there’s no leaving New York
Now there’s no leaving New York
Now there’s no leaving New York
Now there’s no leaving New York

    The National are the best band I have heard in my stupid 45 year life. I saw them live just to check. The are real, amazing and life affirming. I am a cynical journalist, but they are humble, personable and truly amazing. I want this song playing at my funeral. Just for the voice, violins and atmosphere.
