Folk Hero Shtick Lyrics - Fragrant World - Yeasayer

Turn it up ringmaster your final lullaby 

Let's see how your genius is fully realised 

The emperor standing naked how much longer can he fake it 

All night repeat it ten times we've, we've got it 

I know what is expected here 

I'm not a child and i won't be blindsided 

I know what is expected here 

You're the one detatched from daily existence 

I don't like your foolish suits folk hero schtick 

Bad romance take the sky, touch the people, feed the ego 

look me in the eyes despite your bullshit 

Darling of every muse or fare-weathered friend 

Prance around ampitheatres in your swelled head 

Smoke clears and mirrors shatter 

A bargain Broadway, a mock manhattan 

Pack it in 

Please pack it in 

I've got it 

I know what is expected here 

I'm not a child and i won't be blindsided 

I know what is expected here 

You're the one detatched from daily existence 

I don't like your foolish suits, folk hero schtick 

Bad romance take the sky, touch the people, feed the ego 

look me in the eyes despite your bullshit 

How many of them can you string along 

How many of bring to us 

(would it kill you to lose attention) 

How many of them can you string along 

How long before they all wisen up 

(would it kill you to lose attention) 

How many of them can you string along 

How many of bring to us 

(would it kill you to lose attention)
