Blank Slate - The National

I was home entertaining guests

When I fell off the chair and cracked open my head

Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts

Cause they wanted to travel the world

I was home entertaining guests

When I fell off the chair and cracked open my head

Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts

Cause they wanted to travel the world

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs for the grand finale

I keep it upstairs

Gonna be a blank slate

Gonna wear a white cape

But I keep it upstairs

Gonna jump out of a cake

With my heart on a string

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

I go out looking in parked cars

For somebody famous to kidnap and love

Beat off the army with a tennis racket

I go out looking in parked cars

For somebody famous to kidnap and love

Beat off the army with a tennis racket

That’s my whole plan

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs for the grand finale

I keep it upstairs

Gonna be a blank slate

Gonna wear a white cape

But I keep it upstairs

Gonna tackle young girls

Off their beautiful bikes

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Oh no, I thought I’d be by now

My head is a buzzing three-star hotel

Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs for the grand finale

I keep it upstairs

Gonna be a blank slate

Gonna wear a white cape

But I keep it upstairs

Gonna jump out of a cake

With my heart on a string

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Oh no, I thought I’d be by now

My head is a buzzing three-star hotel

Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No way that I thought I’d be by now

My head is a buzzing three-star hotel

Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
