Karen Lyrics - Alligator - The National

Karen, I'm not taking sides 

I don't think I'll ever do that again 

I'll end up winning and I won't know why 

I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying 

You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all the time 

Well, whatever you do, listen, you better wait for me 

No, I wouldn't go out alone into America 

Whatever you do 

Listen, you better wait for me 

No, I wouldn't go out alone 

Karen, we should call your father, maybe it's just a phase 

He'll know the trick to get a wayward soul to change his ways 

It's a common fetish for a doting man 

to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand

Well, whatever you do 

Listen, you better wait for me 

No, I wouldn't go out alone into America 

Whatever you do 

Listen, you better wait for me 

No, I wouldn't go out alone 

Without warm water in my head 

All I see is black and white and red 

I feel mechanical and thin 

Hear me play my violin again 

I'm living in the target's shoes 

All I see is black and white and blue. 

Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest 

Protect the title

Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink 

I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak 

I'm telling you this isn't me 

No, this isn't me 

Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet 

Well, whatever you do 

Listen. you better wait for me 

No, I wouldn't go out alone into America 

Whatever you do 

Listen, you better wait for me 

No, I wouldn't go out alone 

Without warm water in my head 

All I see is black and white and red 

I feel mechanical and thin 

Hear me play my violin again 

I'm living in the target's shoes 

All I see is black and white and blue 

Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest 

Protect the title 

I must be me, I'm in my head 

Black birds are circling my bed 

I must be me, I must be me 

Black feathers are falling on my feet 

Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest 

Protect the title 

(repeat)
