"Driver, Surprise Me" lyrics - THE NATIONAL

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

[Chorus:]
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, reinvented
Without a scratch
Daisy-fresh and arrow-straight

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

I'm a brand new house
The red girl swings somewhere else
Driver, surprise me

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
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

[Refrain:]
Driver, darling, driver
Driver, darling, driver
Driver, darling, driver
Never take me home

[Coda]
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
