Turtleneck lyrics

by

The National


[Verse 1]
Oh my Mother, let your daughter dance with me
I'd like to spin her wild around the cottonwood tree
There's somethin' 'bout her eyes, I think her roots are rotten
This must be the reason she wears her hair up in knots, oh no

[Pre-Chorus]
This is so embarrassin', ah, we're p*ssin' fits
Cryin' on our doorsteps in T-shirts loose and ripped
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them

[Chorus]
Keep the weed next to the bed, then light the water, check for lead
Dim the lights a little lower, hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
Give the gift that fits your head, you have to get this turtleneck

[Verse 2]
The poor, they leave their cellphones in the bathrooms of the rich
And when they try to turn 'em off everything they switch to
Is just another man in sh*tty suits everybody's cheerin' for
This must be the genius we've been waitin' years for, oh no

[Pre-Chorus]
This is so embarrassin', ah, we're p*ssin' fits
Cryin' on our doorsteps in T-shirts loose and ripped
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them
[Chorus]
Keep the weed next to the bed, then light the water, check for lead
Dim the lights a little lower, hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
Give the gift that fits your head, you have to get this turtleneck

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Keep the weed next to the bed, then light the water, check for lead
Dim the lights a little lower, hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
Give the gift that fits your head, you have to get this turtleneck
