The National - Grease In Your Hair Lyrics

The National Lyrics

"Grease In Your Hair"

This machine's a backwards thinker
That looks for you until its neck hurts
Not so hard to be a person
If you've got something you can reference

Grease in your hair, fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes, totally honest

I've worked up a sincere speech
I just don't know how I'm gonna say it
The second I stand up I freeze
My only move here is to faint

Don't splash apart, everything changes
All jumbled up, wide-open spaces
Grease in your hair, fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes, totally honest

Down we go on the grass
Magnets make machines go crazy
I used to know you well
You'd give me such a future feeling
We're in the middle of
Some kind of cosmic rearrangement
You were so funny then
And I kept thinking I would catch it

Stay in one state, nothing is stable
Whip on a cape, step on a cable

I have no more feeling for it
I have no more frame of mind
I have no more feeling for it
I have no more frame of mind

Grease in your hair, fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes, totally honest
Don't splash apart, everything changes
All jumbled up, wide-open spaces

Down we go on the grass
Magnets make machines go crazy
I used to know you well
You'd give me such a future feeling
We're in the middle of
Some kind of cosmic rearrangement
You were so funny then
And I kept thinking I would catch it

And I kept thinking I would catch it
And I kept thinking I would catch it
And I kept thinking I would catch it
And I kept thinking I would catch it
