Slow Show - The National

Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch

Cant pay attention to the sound of anyone

A little more stupid, a little more scared

Every minute, more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today

Everything I love gets lost in the drawers

I want to start over, I want to be winning

Way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you

Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up

So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

God, Im very, very frightened, Ill overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay

I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away

Can I get a minute of not being nervous

And not thinking of my dick?

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins

I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in

You could drive a car through my head in five minutes

From one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you

Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up

So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

God, Im very, very frightened, Ill overdo it

You know I dreamed about you

For twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for, for twenty-nine years

You know I dreamed about you

For twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for, for twenty-nine years
