"Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks" lyrics - THE NATIONAL

Leave your home
Change your name
Live alone
Eat your cake

[Chorus:]
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
O, the water's a-rising
Still no surprising you
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Man, it's all been forgiven
Swans are a-swimmin'
I'll explain everything to the geeks

[Refrain:]
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love

[Chorus:]
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
O, the water's a-rising
Still no surprising you
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Man, it's all been forgiven
Swans are a-swimmin'
I'll explain everything to the geeks

Hanging from
Chandeliers
Same small world
At your heels

[Refrain:]
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for love

[Chorus:]
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
O, the water's a-rising
Still no surprising you
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Man, it's all been forgiven
Swans are a-swimmin'
I'll explain everything to the geeks

[Outro:]
I'll explain everything to the geeks
I'll explain everything to the geeks
