Cardinal Song Lyrics

The National

Never look her in the eyes Never tell the truth If she knows you're paper You know she'll have to burn you
Never tell the one you want that you do Save it for the deathbed When you know you kept her wanting you
And do everything she'd never do
Fall asleep with strangers wives The wild wives of unknown men Good for you, you've just become Just another one of them
Never say you miss her Never say a word
And do everything she'd never do Don't let her see your cardinal eyes
Let her treat you like a criminal So you can treat her like a priest Girls forgive my human mind Girls forgive me one more time
Never tell the one you love that you do Save it for the deathbed
And do everything she'd never do Don't let her see your cardinal eyes Don't let her see your cardinal eyes
Jesus Christ, you have confused me Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me Forgive me, girls, I am confused Stiff and pissed and lost and loose
Jesus Christ, you have confused me Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me Forgive me, girls, I am confused Stiff and pissed and lost and loose
