Humiliation Lyrics - Trouble Will Find Me - The National

I survived the dinner 

And the air went thinner 

I retired to the briars by the pool 

It gets so loud 

If I die this instant 

Taken from a distance 

They would probably list it down 

Among other things 'round town 

Got my rings around me 

I got baby to pound me 

I see stars and go weak 

My baby cries and lays me down 

In the skies over black Venice 

I see eyes of a white menace 

The surprise of the week 

Is that I never heard the sound

All the L.A. women 

Fall asleep while swimmin' 

I got paid to fish 'em out 

And then one day I lost the job 

And I cried a little 

I got fried a little 

Then she laid her eyes on mine 

And she said, "Babe, you're better off" 

I got my rings around me 

I got baby to pound me 

I see stars and go weak 

My baby cries and lays me down 

In the skies over black Venice 

I see eyes of a white menace 

The surprise of the week 

Is that I never heard the sound

Tunnel vision lights my way 

Lead a little life today 

As the free-fall advances 

I'm the moron who dances 

Ah 

I was teething on roses 

I was in guns and noses 

Ah 

Under the withering white skies of humiliation 

Under the withering white skies of humiliation 

Tunnel vision lights my way 

Lead a little life today 

Tunnel vision lights my way 

Lead a little life today 

She wore blue velvet 

Said she can't help it 

She wore blue velvet 

Said she can't help it 

She wore blue velvet 

Said she can't help it
