Blank Slate — The National

I was home entertaining guests I fell off the chair and cracked open my head Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts 'cause they wanted to travel the world

I was home entertaining guests I fell off the chair and cracked open my head Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts 'cause 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

Oh no, I thought I'd be by now My head is a buzzing three-star hotel, oh no Oh 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

Oh no, I thought I'd be by now My head is a buzzing three-star hotel, oh no Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Nowhere did I thought I'd be by now My head is a buzzing three-star hotel, oh no Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
