The National - Demons

Thanks to the ever-resourceful Giara for sending the video link below :) The National's new album 'Trouble Will Find Me' is due soon (21 May 2013), and this single (and video) heralds its arrival:



Cannot stay here I can’t sleep, on the floor.
Drink the blood and hang the palms, On the door.
Do not think I’m going places anymore,
Wanna see the sun come above New York.
Oh, everyday I start so great,
Then the sunlight dims.
Less I’ve learned,
The more I see the pythons and the limbs.
Do not know what’s wrong with me,
Sours in the cup.
When I walk into a room,
I do not light it up.
Fuck.

So I stay down,
With my demons
