Blank Slate Lyrics - A Skin, A Night + The Virginia - 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 

Because 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 

Because 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

I don't know what I thought I'd be by now 

My head is a buzzing three star hotel 

Oh no 

No no 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 

I don't know what I thought I'd be by now 

My head is a buzzing three star hotel 

Oh no 

No no no no no no no no 

Nowhere that I thought I'd be by now 

My head is a buzzing three star hotel 

Oh no 

No no no no no no no no
