THE NATIONAL - CARDINAL SONG Lyrics

Never look her in the eyesNever tell the truthIf she knows your paperYou know she'll have to burn youNever tell the one you want that you doSave it for the deathbedWhen you know you kept her wanting youAnd do everything she'd never doFall asleep with stranger's wivesThe wild wives of unknown menGood for you, you've just becomeJust another one of themNever say you miss herNever say a wordAnd do everything she'd never doDon't let her see your cardinal eyesDon't let her see your cardinal eyesLet her treat you like a criminalSo you can treat her like a priestGirls forgive my human mindGirls forgive me one more timeNever tell the one you love that you doSave it for the deathbedAnd do everything she'd never doDon't let her see your cardinal eyesDon't let her see your cardinal eyesJesus christ you have confused meCornered, wasted, blessed and used meForgive me girls i am confusedStiff and pissed and lost and looseJesus christ you have confused meCornered, wasted, blessed and used meForgive me girls i am confusedStiff and pissed and lost and loose
