Artist/Band: The National
Lyrics for Song: Blank Slate
Lyrics for Album: The Virginia EP [2008]



I was home entertaining guests, when I fell off the chair and cracked open my head

Bees flew out, and they flew up their skirts

Because they wanted to travel the world



I was home entertaining guests, when I fell off the chair and cracked open my head

Bees flew out, and they flew up their skirts

Because 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



I don't know what I thought I'd be by now

My head is a buzzing three star hotel

Oh no

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



I don't know what I thought I'd be by now

My head is a buzzing three star hotel

Oh no

No no no no no no no no



Nowhere that I thought I'd be by now

My head is a buzzing three star hotel

Oh no

No no no no no no no no
