the national - humiliation lyrics

[verse 1]
i survived the dinner, and the air went thinner
i retired to the briars, by the pool, it gets so loud
if i die this instant, taken from the distance
they will probably list it down among other things ’round town
got my rings around me, i got baby to pound me
i see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
in the skies over black venice, i see eyes of a white menace
the surprise of the week is that i never heard the sound

[verse 2]
and all the l.a. women fall asleep while swimming
i got paid to fish ’em out and then, one day, i lost the job
and i cried a little, i got fried a little
then she laid her eyes on mine
and she said, “babe, you’re better off”
i got my rings around me, i got baby to pound me
i see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
in the skies over black venice, i see eyes of a white menace
the surprise of the week is that i never heard the sound

[chorus]
tunnel vision lights my way
leave a little life today

[bridge]
as a free fall advances, i’m the moron who dances
ahh
i was t–thing on roses, i was in guns and noses
ahh
under the withering white skies of humiliation
under the withering white skies of humiliation

[chorus]
tunnel vision lights my way
leave a little life today

[instrumental break]

[chorus]
tunnel vision lights my way
leave a little life today

[outro]
she wore blue velvet
said she can’t help it
she wore blue velvet
said she can’t help it
she wore blue velvet
said she can’t help it
