Turtleneck Lyrics - The National

Oh my Mother, let your daughter dance with me 

I'd like to spin her wild around the cottonwood tree 

There's something about her eyes, I think her roots are rotten 

This must be the reason she wears her hair up in knots, oh no 

This is so embarrassing 

Ah, we're pissing fits 

Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped 

Some of them so out of style I cannot save them 

They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them 

Keep the weed next to the bed 

Light the water, check for lead 

Dim the lights a little lower 

Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders 

Give the gift that fits your head 

You have to get this turtleneck

The poor, they leave their cellphones in the bathrooms of the rich 

And when they try to turn them off everything they switch to 

Is just another man, in shitty suits, everybody's cheering for 

This must be the genius we've been waiting years for, oh no 

This is so embarrassing 

Ah, we're pissing fits 

Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped 

Some of them so out of style I cannot save them 

They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them 

Keep the weed next to the bed 

Light the water, check for lead 

Dim the lights a little lower 

Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders 

Give the gift that fits your head 

You have to get this turtleneck
