Lyrics: National, The. Cardinal Song.

:
never look her in the eyes

never tell the truth

if she knows your paper

you know she'll have to burn you



never tell the one you want that you do

save it for the deathbed

when you know you kept her wanting you



and do everything she'd never do



fall asleep with stranger's wives

the wild wives of unknown men

good for you, you've just become

just another one of them



never say you miss her

never say a word



and do everything she'd never do



don't let her see your cardinal eyes

don't let her see your cardinal eyes



let her treat you like a criminal

so you can treat her like a priest

girls forgive my human mind

girls forgive me one more time



never tell the one you love that you do

save it for the deathbed



and do everything she'd never do



don't let her see your cardinal eyes

don't let her see your cardinal eyes



jesus christ you have confused me

cornered, wasted, blessed and used me

forgive me girls i am confused

stiff and pissed and lost and loose



jesus christ you have confused me

cornered, wasted, blessed and used me

forgive me girls i am confused

stiff and pissed and lost and loose
