telephone - cape sleep lyrics
[verse 1]
staying at the carlyle hotel, drinking prairie fire’s all summer long
watching sp*ce jam all the time, living off razzles and ice cream
there are ex*babysitters who’ve daydreamed about having you maimed
your mother’s in la, trying to remember your name
[verse 2]
running a room tab longer than the second geneva convention
trying to call up everyone you knew from lacrosse summer camp and pygmalion
there are knights after your hand, slowly pining away
the bellboy would k!ll a man, just to hear you say his name
[chorus]
i’d call your telephone but you’ve always been a million lightyears away
with raleigh in the amazon, looking for lost cities in the rain
in your dream napoleon said, no one comes back from going on a leave
you took the next flight out of nuevo león, still couldn’t wrap your head around turning seventeen
[verse 3]
the lions at the city zoo, are wondering if you’re going to stop by
your mother’s putting on rouge, remembering you as a child
and you’re thinking, have i been jittering around like a kite
or am i like a starling that just doesn’t know what a murmuration looks like?
[chorus]
i’d call your telephone but you’ve always been a million lightyears away
with raleigh in the amazon, looking for lost cities in the rain
in your dream napoleon said, no one comes back from going on a leave
you took the next flight out of nuevo león, still couldn’t wrap your head around turning seventeen
[outro]
you were at gettysburg and diamond beach
at the premiere of cymbeline
you were a russian royal, a barrymore
now you’re just a girl, alone in new york
