The National - You've Done It Again, Virginia

You had fun
But you couldn't get him out of the car
I guess mamma's boys only go so far
You went in and put a record on
To make it sound like someone was home
And thanked yourself for pouring
Yourself a drink

Try to figure out and laugh
Yourself to the showers
Burn yourself alive and join
The monster squad they say in this place
You can reinvent yourself

Well you've done it again, Virginia
Made another masterpiece while I was dreaming
How does it feel to feel like you?
Brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar
Brilliant sugar, turn over

A cool, tall
Drink of water is all you ever wanted to be
If you had another wish to wish
You'd be fun and moving
But you can't talk to people right
You can't tell a story
You're tall, long legged
And your heart's full of liquor
And me and everybody are just ice in a glass

Try to figure out and laugh
Yourself to the showers
Burn yourself alive and join
The monster squad they say in this place
You can reinvent yourself

Well you've done it again, Virginia
Made another masterpiece while I was dreaming
How does it feel to feel like you?
Brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar
Brilliant sugar, turn over

Well you've done it again, Virginia
Made another masterpiece while I was dreaming
How does it feel to feel like you?
Brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar
Brilliant sugar, turn over
