Aaron Dessner - Humiliation lyrics

[Verse 1] I survived the dinner And the air went thinner I retired to the briars By the pool it gets so loud If I die this instant Taken from the distance They will probably list it down Among other things round town Got my rings around me I got baby to pound me I see stars and go weak My baby cries and lays me down In the skies over black Venice I see eyes of a white menace The surprise of the week Is that I never heard the sound [Verse 2] All the L.A. women Fall asleep while swimming I got paid to fish them out And then one day I lost the job And I cried a little I got fried a little Then she laid her eyes on mine And she said, "Babe, you're better off" I got my rings around me I got baby to pound me I see stars and go weak My baby cries and lays me down In the skies over black Venice I see eyes of a white menace The surprise of the week Is that I never heard the sound [Chorus] Tunnel vision lights my way Leave a little life today [Bridge] As a free fall advances I'm the moron who dances I was teething on roses I was in guns and noses Under the withering white skies of Humiliation Under the withering white skies of Humiliation [Chorus] Tunnel vision lights my way Leave a little life today Tunnel vision lights my way Leave a little life today [Outro] She wore blue velvet Said she can't help it She wore blue velvet Said she can't help it She wore blue velvet Said she can't help it
