Keep Me In The Dark Lyrics - I'm Going Away - The Fiery Furnaces

The Bazaar in Ouarzazate, 

Had an emerald for sale. We heard 

In the silver band were etched the initials 

of you know who. 

His momma pawned the Gulfstream; 

Returned the antiquities to Italy; 

Said in no uncertain terms buy it back for 

my youngest son. 

Please don't tell me nothing. 

I'd rather tell me nothing, 

Keep me in the dark, 

With the opposite of anything. 

Went through my per diems 

By the middle of the morning. 

You won't mind me writing my own 

receipts for boys or smoke 

Contracted three merchant fevers; 

Embellished two early evenings; 

At an arcade in the afternoon looked back 

and forth with you know who. 

Please, don't tell me nothing, 

I'd rather tell me nothing: 

Keep me in the dark. 

With the opposite of anything.
