Cardinal Song Lyrics - Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers - The National

never look her in the eyes 

never tell the truth 

if she knows your paper 

you know she'll have to burn you 

never tell the one you want that you do 

save it for the deathbed 

when you know you kept her wanting you 

and do everything she'd never do 

fall asleep with stranger's wives 

the wild wives of unknown men 

good for you, you've just become 

just another one of them 

never say you miss her 

never say a word

and do everything she'd never do 

don't let her see your cardinal eyes 

don't let her see your cardinal eyes 

let her treat you like a criminal 

so you can treat her like a priest 

girls forgive my human mind 

girls forgive me one more time 

never tell the one you love that you do 

save it for the deathbed 

and do everything she'd never do 

don't let her see your cardinal eyes 

don't let her see your cardinal eyes 

jesus christ you have confused me 

cornered, wasted, blessed and used me 

forgive me girls i am confused 

stiff and pissed and lost and loose
