Big Red Machine Mimi

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1: Justin Vernon]
To tell the truth darling I’d have to lead a coup
Past the platitudes, right past the dotted rules
I paid attention, I paid my dues
Now that I know a thing or two
I say thank you

[Chorus: Ilsey & Aaron Dessner]
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came ’round with the golden gun?
Would you ever light up with somebody like me? (Looked like my son, he looked like a sun)
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came round with the golden gun? (On my back, felt like it)
Would you ever lay down with somebody like me?
(On my back, felt like it)

[Verse 2: Justin Vernon]
It really wasn’t a fall
It was nothing at all
All that they came in proving
Well they sure was zooming
I have to cast up, a big wet net through
Now that I ask after you, I’ve gotta pass through now

[Chorus: Ilsey & Justin Vernon]
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came ’round with the golden gun?
Would you ever light up with somebody like me? (To tell the truth)
Would you come right over with the crown royal if I said run, run, run (I’d have to lead a coup, past the platitudes)
Would you ever lay down with somebody like me? (Right past the dotted rules)
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came ’round with the golden gun? (I paid attention, I paid my dues, I gotta ask you)
Would you ever light up with somebody like me?
(Do you say thank you?)

[Outro: Aaron Dessner & Justin Vernon]
Looked like my son (I say thank you)
He looked like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Looked like my son (I say thank you, I say thank you)
He looked like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you)
