The Geese of Beverly Road - The National

We’ll take ourselves out in the street

And wear the blood in our cheeks

Like red roses

We’ll go from car to sleeping car

And whisper in their sleeping ears

We were here, we were here

We’ll set off the geese of Beverly Road

Hey, love, we’ll get away with it

We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius

Hey, love, we’ll get away with it

We’ll run like we’re awesome

We won’t be disappointed

We’ll fight like girls for our place at the table

Our room on the floor

We’ll set off the geese of Beverly Road

Hey, love, we’ll get away with it

We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius

Hey, love, we’ll get away with it

We’ll run like we’re awesome

We’re the heirs to the glimmering world

(repeat)

We’re drunk and sparking, our legs are open

Our hands are covered in cake

But I swear we didn’t have any

I swear we didn’t have any

Hey, love, we’ll get away with it

We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius

Hey, love, we’ll get away with it

We’ll run like we’re awesome

We’re the heirs to the glimmering world

(repeat)

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

Serve me the sky tonight

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

We’re the heirs to the glimmering world

(repeat)

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

Serve me the sky tonight

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon
