Testo The National

I ve been told
Life s not a joke you should laugh about
Once you re old
You ll know what I m talking about
But I won t grow old
I smiled and I denied
I guess I ve earned
The shaking heads I got replied
No - so many stones to throw
No - so many places to go, to go, to go
So many places to go

I quit my job
And worked for six or seven bucks at a bar
I won t get far
Making chicks drunk so I took off
I got in the van
Take me somewhere I don t care where
I thought I d return
And be someone but no one cared

No - so many stones to throw No - so many places to go, to go, to go

Come what may I will sing along to the national on the radio
Come what may I will sing along to the national on the radio

Don t fall asleep Don t fall asleep
Don t fall asleep In my fake empire
Don t fall asleep Don t fall asleep
Don t fall asleep In my fake empire

After the show
We always met on the highest floor
Dannys home?
The window sill right next to the door
We should have known
Once you fall there s no way back on
Life s not a joke
Guess they werde right and I was wrong

No - so many places to go, to go, to go

Come what may I will sing along to the national on the radio
Come what may I will sing along to the national on the radio

Don t fall asleep Don t fall asleep
Don t fall asleep In my fake empire
Don t fall asleep Don t fall asleep
Don t fall asleep In my fake empire

In my fake Empore
My fake empire
