Death Cab For Cutie - Little Bribes lyrics

rate me

<BR>

The Eiffel tower built to smaller scale<br>

The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale<br>

I tapped a bottle against a safety rail, killing time<br>

<br>

And you were like a walking compliment<br>

Tall in stature and exceptionally read<br>

In dummy glasses and a cardigan<br>

Oh, come on<br>

<br>

And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers And the waitresses around<br>

<br>

You said that all these things you've learned to ignore<br>

The hidden cameras on the casino floor<br>

And what gets paid for behind hotel doors <br>

Oh, come on<br>

<br>

You pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello<br>

The people stare into their eyes and they feed them little bribes and then they go<br>

<br>

The never-ending twilight<br>

In a basement where the sun has never split<br>

You said that you were lonely<br>

And then we kissed like lonely people do<br>

<br>

You said the city has a beating heart<br>

That pushes people down the boulevard<br>

And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled <br>

In a desert for a dollar bill<br>

Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still<br>

Oh, come on<br>

<br>

And oh so empty were the faces <br>

Of the dealers and the waitresses around <i>[X2]</i><br>

<br>

They're empty<br>

<BR><BR>
