The National - Driver Surprise Me Lyrics

Put the pervert in a suit, take him out and light him up.
Get him out of your system, and warm your brand new bones.
Sweep him in a shopping bag, call a car and take him slow through NoLIta, driver surprise me.

Any rose red whore, with impeccable taste.
We'll take the place over, and let him go.

Driver surprise me. Whatever works for you.
I'm brand new and reinvented. Without a scratch, daisy fresh and arrow straight.

That's a beautiful name. Can I take it because I don't remember anyone? And nothing reminds me.

I'm a brand new house, red girl swings somewhere else.
Driver surprise me.
Any rose red whore, with impeccable taste. We'll take the place over, let him go.
We'll let him blow in the eyes, we'll let him float in the drinks of the beautiful boys and the beautiful girls.

I'll find her jewelry in my room, I'll find her voice in my mouth.
I'll wear her clothes until she comes home. I'll find her number in my phone.

Driver, darling, driver. Driver, darling, driver. Driver, darling, driver. Let her take me home.

I'll find her jewelry in my room, I'll find her voice in my mouth.
I'll wear her clothes until she comes home.
