The National: Brainy
Ive been dragging around from the end of your coat for two weeks, ah-ah,
Everywhere you go is swirling, everything you say has water under it, ah-ah,
You know I keep your fingerprints in a pink folder in the middle of my table,
Youre the tall kingdom I surround
Think I better follow you around
You might need me more than you think you will,
Come home in the car you love, brainy, brainy, brainy,
Ive been dragging around from the end of your coat for two weeks, ah-ah,
You keep changing your fancy, fancy mind every time I decide to let it go,
I was up all night again, boning up and reading the American dictionary,
Youll never believe me what I found,
Think I better follow you around
You might need me more than you think you will,
Come home in the car you love, brainy, brainy, brainy,
You might need me more than you think you will,
Come home in the car you love, brainy, brainy, brainy,
