Lyrics Grease In Your Hair - The National

This machine's a backward thinker
That looks for you until its neck hurts
Not so hard to be a person
If you've got something you can reference

Grease in your hair
Fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes
Totally honest

I've worked up a sincere speech
I just don't know how I'm gonna say it
The second I stand up, I freeze
My only move here is to fail

Don't splash apart
Everything changes
All jumbled up
Wide-open spaces

Grease in your hair
Fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes
Totally honest

Down we go on the grass
Magnets make machines go crazy
I used to know you well
You give me such a future feeling

We're in the middle of
Some kind of cosmic rearrangement
You were so funny then
And I kept thinking I would catch it

Stay in one state, nothing is stable
Whip on a cape, step on a cable
I have no more feeling for it
I have no more frame of mind
I have no more feeling for it
I have no more frame of mind

Grease in your hair
Fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes
Totally honest

Don't splash apart
Everything changes
All jumbled up
Wide-open spaces

Down we go on the grass
Magnets make machines go crazy
I used to know you well
You give me such a future feeling

We're in the middle of
Some kind of cosmic rearrangement
You were so funny then
And I kept thinking I would catch it

I kept thinking I would catch it
I kept thinking I would catch it
I kept thinking I would catch it
The things we do for fun
