DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE lyrics : "Little Bribes"

The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale
The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale
I tapped a bottle against the safety rail

Killing time

And you were like a walking compliment

Tall in stature and exceptionally read
In dummy glasses and a cardigan
Oh come on


And oh so empty were the faces
Of the dealers and the waitresses around


You said that all these things
You've learned to ignore

The hidden cameras on the casino floor
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors
Oh come on


Pretend every slot machine is a robot
Amputee waving hello

The people stare into their eyes
And they feed them little bribes
And then they go


The never ending twilight
In a ba!@&(t where the sun has never spilt

You said that you were lonely
And then we kissed like lonely people do


You said this city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled

In a desert for a dollar bill
Those foolish dreams you know they plague me still
Oh come on


And oh so empty were the faces
Of the dealers and the waitresses around

And oh so empty were the faces
Of the dealers and the waitresses around


Empty
