"Pink Rabbits" lyrics - THE NATIONAL

I couldn't find quiet, I went out in the rain
I was just soaking my head to unrattle my brain
Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
I didn't understand then, I don't understand now

[Chorus:]
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?
And everybody was gone
You were staring down the street
'Cause you were tryin' not to crack up

It wasn't like a rain, it was more like a sea
I didn't ask for this pain, it just came over me
Well, I love a storm, but I don't love lightning
All the waters coming up so fast, it's frightening

[Chorus:]
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?
And everybody was gone
I was standing in the street 'cause I was trying not to crack

I was solid gold, I was in the fight
I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin
I couldn't see you coming so far
I just turn around and there you are
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
I was just getting used to living life without you around
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
You always said I held you way too high off the ground

[Refrain:]
You didn't see me, I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
You didn't see me, I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
You didn't see me, I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
You didn't see me, I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart

[Bridge:]
And everybody was gone
You were standing in the street
'Cause you were trying not to crack up
And Bona Drag was still on
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sun kicks out
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sun kicks out

[Outro:]
You said it will be painless, a needle in a doll
You said it will be painless, it wasn't that at all
You said it will be painless, a needle in a doll
You said it will be painless, it wasn't that at all
(When the sun kicks out)
You said it will be painless, a needle in a doll
(When the sun kicks out)
You said it will be painless, it wasn't that at all
