The National Mistaken for Strangers Lyrics

(intro)
(opening) strum
You have to do it running but you do everything that they
ask you to cause you don't mind seeing
yourself in a picture as long as you look
faraway, as long as you look removed
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery
citibank lights, arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over.
Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wannna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
so you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
so you swear you just saw a feathery
woman carry a blindfolded man through the trees
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
